Engendering persistent organic room temperature phosphorescence by trace ingredient incorporation.

ABSTRACT: Pure organic persistent room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has shown great potential in information encryption, optoelectronic devices, and bio-applications. However, trace impurities are generated in synthesis, causing unpredictable effects on the luminescence properties. Here, an impurity is isolated from a pure organic RTP system and structurally characterized that caused an unusual ultralong RTP in matrix even at 0.01 mole percent content. Inspired by this effect, a series of compounds are screened out to form the bicomponent RTP system by the trace ingredient incorporation method. The RTP quantum yields reach as high as 74.2%, and the lifetimes reach up to 430 ms. Flexible application of trace ingredients to construct RTP materials has become an eye-catching strategy with high efficiency, economy, and potential for applications as well as easy preparation.

Mechano-induced persistent room-temperature phosphorescence from purely organic molecules.

Project description:The persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of purely organic materials in the solid state has recently attracted much research interest and found promising, rapid and visual applications by the naked eye, after the removal of the excitation source. However, almost all reported organic persistent RTP processes are induced by using a UV-light irradiation source. In this report, persistent RTP with an emission lifetime as long as 0.15 s which can be induced not only by photoirradiation but also by mechanical action is presented, which merges mechano-induced luminescence and persistent RTP together. It is found that such persistent RTP is produced through intermolecular electronic coupling (IEC) of units with different excited state configurations. Interestingly, there are two different crystals with and without mechano-induced persistent RTP which can be grown from this organic material, as such a new type of mechano-luminescence (ML) is strongly dependent on their intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, the intensity of such mechano-induced persistent RTP can be increased by lowing the temperature as well, similar to that of photo-induced persistent RTP. Notably, these two crystals exhibit a ML enhancement and ML "turn on", respectively, with decreasing temperature. Therefore, such mechano-induced persistent RTP provides an example of new types of organic luminescent materials, which is a missing jigsaw piece of organic luminescence and important for both fundamental research and practical applications of both persistent RTP and ML of organic materials.

Persistent organic room temperature phosphorescence: what is the role of molecular dimers?

Project description:Molecular dimers have been frequently found to play an important role in room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), but its inherent working mechanism has remained unclear. Herein a series of unique characteristics, including singlet excimer emission and thermally activated delayed fluorescence, were successfully integrated into a new RTP luminogen of CS-2COOCH3 to clearly reveal the excited-state process of RTP and the special role of molecular dimers in persistent RTP emission.

Intermolecular Electronic Coupling of Organic Units for Efficient Persistent Room-Temperature Phosphorescence.

Project description:Although persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission has been observed for a few pure crystalline organic molecules, there is no consistent mechanism and no universal design strategy for organic persistent RTP (pRTP) materials. A new mechanism for pRTP is presented, based on combining the advantages of different excited-state configurations in coupled intermolecular units, which may be applicable to a wide range of organic molecules. By following this mechanism, we have developed a successful design strategy to obtain bright pRTP by utilizing a heavy halogen atom to further increase the intersystem crossing rate of the coupled units. RTP with a remarkably long lifetime of 0.28 s and a very high quantum efficiency of 5 % was thus obtained under ambient conditions. This strategy represents an important step in the understanding of organic pRTP emission.

Boosting the efficiency of organic persistent room-temperature phosphorescence by intramolecular triplet-triplet energy transfer.

Project description:Persistent luminescence is a fascinating phenomenon with exceptional applications. However, the development of organic materials capable of persistent luminescence, such as organic persistent room-temperature phosphorescence, lags behind for their normally low efficiency. Moreover, enhancing the phosphorescence efficiency of organic luminophores often results in short lifetime, which sets an irreconcilable obstacle. Here we report a strategy to boost the efficiency of phosphorescence by intramolecular triplet-triplet energy transfer. Incorpotation of (bromo)dibenzofuran or (bromo)dibenzothiophene to carbazole has boosted the intersystem crossing and provided an intramolecular triplet-state bridge to offer a near quantitative exothermic triplet-triplet energy transfer to repopulate the lowest triplet-state of carbazole. All these factors work together to contribute the efficient phosphorescence. The generation and transfer of triplet excitons within a single molecule is revealed by low-temperature spectra, energy level and lifetime investigations. The strategy developed here will enable the development of efficient phosphorescent materials for potential high-tech applications.

Purely Organic Microparticles Showing Ultralong Room Temperature Phosphorescence.

Project description:Currently, organic phosphorescent particles are heavily used in sensing and imaging. Up to now, most of these particles contain poisonous and/or expensive metal complexes. Environmentally friendly systems are therefore highly desired. A purely amorphous system consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) particles with incorporated N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzidine emitter molecules is presented in this work. Single particles with sizes between 400 and 840 nm show-depending on the environment-bright fluorescence and phosphorescence. The latter is observed when oxygen is not in the proximity of the emitting dye molecules. These particles can scavenge singlet oxygen, which is produced during the photoexcitation process, by incorporating it into the polymer matrix. This renders their use to be unharmful for the surrounding matter with possible application in marking schemes for living bodies.

A metal-free 2D layered organic ammonium halide framework realizing full-color persistent room-temperature phosphorescence.

Project description:Organic-inorganic hybrid metal halides have attracted intensive attention because of their unique electronic structure and solution processability. They have a rigid micro/nano-structure and heavy atom effect, which has obvious advantages in promoting organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). However, the toxicity of heavy metals has limited their further development. Herein, two metal-free 2D layered ammonium halides, homopiperonylammonium bromide and chloride (HLB and HLC), are described for the first time. Their layered structure consists of rigid inorganic ammonium halide laminates and neatly stacked organic layers. The rigid laminates and external heavy atom effect of halogen atoms make HLB and HLC produce green RTP. When phosphor guests with different triplet energies are doped into HLB, HLC, or phenylethylamine salt hosts, effective full-color and even white ultra-long RTP with phosphorescence quantum yield up to 18.7% and lifetime up to 1.7 s is realized through energy transfer between the host and guest. Due to the simple solution synthesis, 10 g-level doped layered organic ammonium halides with the same phosphorescence properties can be easily obtained. The information ink based on these doped halides and non-toxic ethanol solvent can form various patterns on filter paper. The fluorescence and phosphorescence of these patterns are sensitive to the excitation wavelength and acid-base vapor. Consequently, they can be applied to multiple complex anti-counterfeiting and fluorescence/phosphorescence dual-mode chemical sensors.

Persistent Room Temperature Phosphorescence from Triarylboranes: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study.

Project description:Achieving highly efficient phosphorescence in purely organic luminophors at room temperature remains a major challenge due to slow intersystem crossing (ISC) rates in combination with effective non-radiative processes in those systems. Most room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) organic materials have O- or N-lone pairs leading to low lying (n, π*) and (π, π*) excited states which accelerate kisc through El-Sayed's rule. Herein, we report the first persistent RTP with lifetimes up to 0.5 s from simple triarylboranes which have no lone pairs. RTP is only observed in the crystalline state and in highly doped PMMA films which are indicative of aggregation induced emission (AIE). Detailed crystal structure analysis suggested that intermolecular interactions are important for efficient RTP. Furthermore, photophysical studies of the isolated molecules in a frozen glass, in combination with DFT/MRCI calculations, show that (σ, B p)→(π, B p) transitions accelerate the ISC process. This work provides a new approach for the design of RTP materials without (n, π*) transitions.

Color-tunable ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence from a multicomponent copolymer.

Project description:Functional materials displaying tunable emission and long-lived luminescence have recently emerged as a powerful tool for applications in information encryption, organic electronics and bioelectronics. Herein, we present a design strategy to achieve color-tunable ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence (UOP) in polymers through radical multicomponent cross-linked copolymerization. Our experiments reveal that by changing the excitation wavelength from 254 to 370?nm, these polymers display multicolor luminescence spanning from blue to yellow with a long-lived lifetime of 1.2?s and a maximum phosphorescence quantum yield of 37.5% under ambient conditions. Moreover, we explore the application of these polymers in multilevel information encryption based on the color-tunable UOP property. This strategy paves the way for the development of multicolor bio-labels and smart luminescent materials with long-lived emission at room temperature.

Ultralong UV/mechano-excited room temperature phosphorescence from purely organic cluster excitons.

Project description:Purely organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has attracted wide attention recently due to its various application potentials. However, ultralong RTP (URTP) with high efficiency is still rarely achieved. Herein, by dissolving 1,8-naphthalic anhydride in certain organic solid hosts, URTP with a lifetime of over 600?ms and overall quantum yield of over 20% is realized. Meanwhile, the URTP can also be achieved by mechanical excitation when the host is mechanoluminescent. Femtosecond transient absorption studies reveal that intersystem crossing of the host is accelerated substantially in the presence of a trace amount of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride. Accordingly, we propose that a cluster exciton spanning the host and guest forms as a transient state before the guest acts as an energy trap for the RTP state. The cluster exciton model proposed here is expected to help expand the varieties of purely organic URTP materials based on an advanced understanding of guest/host combinations.

The methylation effect in prolonging the pure organic room temperature phosphorescence lifetime.

Project description:Prolonging the phosphorescence lifetime of pure organic phosphorescent materials by a methyl-substitution strategy is described. We present a chemical strategy for improving the phosphorescence lifetime of triplet excitons under ambient conditions by incorporating methyl groups into the chemical structures. This is observed by a long-lived phosphorescence lifetime of up to 0.83 s detected for methylated 9-(4-(mesitylsulfonyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole (3M), compared to 0.36 s for 9-(4-(phenylsulfonyl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole (0M) without any methyl groups. Additionally, enhanced phosphorescence efficiency can be obtained at an appropriate methylation degree, because of the smaller ?E ST (singlet and triplet energy gap) and ?E TT* (normal phosphorescence and long-lived phosphorescence energy gap). A comprehensive investigation on the packing mode in the crystalline state reveals that the methyl groups occupy the free volume and result in a suppression of non-radiative decay, accounting for the enhanced phosphorescence lifetime.
