Chemical modification of phenothiazine-benzophenone derivatives tunes the emission behavior from triplet states by selecting the geometry of the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state. A fundamental principle of planar ICT (PICT) and twisted ICT (TICT) is demonstrated to obtain selectively either room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), respectively. Time-resolved spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) investigations on polymorphic single crystals demonstrate the roles of PICT and TICT states in the underlying photophysics. This has resulted in a RTP molecule OPM, where the triplet states contribute with 89% of the luminescence, and an isomeric TADF molecule OMP, where the triplet states contribute with 95% of the luminescence.
