Controlling ultralong room temperature phosphorescence in organic compounds with sulfur oxidation state.

ABSTRACT: Sulfur oxidation state is used to tune organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of symmetric sulfur-bridged carbazole dimers. The sulfide-bridged compound exhibits a factor of 3 enhancement of the phosphorescence efficiency, compared to the sulfoxide and sulfone-bridged analogs, despite sulfone bridges being commonly used in RTP materials. In order to investigate the origin of this enhancement, temperature dependent spectroscopy measurements and theoretical calculations are used. The RTP lifetimes are similar due to similar crystal packing modes. Computational studies reveal that the lone pairs on the sulfur atom have a profound impact on enhancing intersystem crossing rate through orbital mixing and screening, which we hypothesize is the dominant factor responsible for increasing the phosphorescence efficiency. The ability to tune the electronic state without altering crystal packing modes allows the isolation of these effects. This work provides a new perspective on the design principles of organic phosphorescent materials, going beyond the rules established for conjugated ketone/sulfone-based organic molecules.

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.

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.

Ultralong room temperature phosphorescence from amorphous organic materials toward confidential information encryption and decryption.

Project description:Ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (URTP) emitted from pure amorphous organic molecules is very rare. Although a few crystalline organic molecules could realize URTP with long lifetimes (>100 ms), practical applications of these crystalline organic phosphors are still challenging because the formation and maintenance of high-quality crystals are very difficult and complicated. Herein, we present a rational design for minimizing the vibrational dissipation of pure amorphous organic molecules to achieve URTP. By using this strategy, a series of URTP films with long lifetimes and high phosphorescent quantum yields (up to 0.75 s and 11.23%, respectively) were obtained from amorphous organic phosphors without visible fluorescence and phosphorescence under ambient conditions. On the basis of the unique features of URTP films, a new green screen printing technology without using any ink was developed toward confidential information encryption and decryption. This work presents a breakthrough strategy in applying amorphous organic materials for URTP.

Two-photon-excited ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence by dual-channel triplet harvesting.

Project description:Due to inefficient molecular design strategies, two-photon-excited ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence (TPUOP) has not yet been reported in single-component materials. Herein, we present an innovative design method by dual-channel triplet harvesting to obtain the first bright TPUOP molecule with a lifetime of 0.84 s and a quantum efficiency of 16.6%. In compound o-Cz the donor and acceptor units are connected at the ortho position of benzophenone, showing intramolecular space charge transfer. Therefore, the two-photon absorption ability is improved due to the enhanced charge transfer character. Moreover, the small energy gap boosts dual-channel triplet harvesting via ultralong thermally activated delayed fluorescence and H-aggregation phosphorescence, which suppresses the long-lived triplet concentration quenching. Through two-photon absorption, a near-infrared laser (808 nm) is able to trigger the obvious ultralong emission under ambient conditions. This research work provides valuable guidance for designing near-infrared-excited ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence materials.

Ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence of a solid-state supramolecule between phenylmethylpyridinium and cucurbit[6]uril.

Project description:Long-lived organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) has received great attention because of its various potential applications. Herein, we report a persistent RTP of a solid-state supramolecule between a cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) host and a heavy-atom-free phenylmethylpyridinium guest. Significantly, the long-lived phosphorescence completely depends on the host-guest complexation, revealing that the non-phosphorescent guest exhibits a 2.62 s ultralong lifetime after being complexed by CB[6] under ambient conditions. The ultralong RTP is because of tight encapsulation of CB[6], which boosts intersystem crossing, suppresses nonradiative relaxation and possibly shields quenchers. Moreover, several phosphorescent complexes possessing different lifetimes are prepared and successfully applied in triple lifetime-encoding for data encryption and anti-counterfeiting. This strategy provides a new insight for realizing purely organic RTP with ultralong lifetime and expands its application in the field of information protection.

Converting molecular luminescence to ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence <i>via</i> the excited state modulation of sulfone-containing heteroaromatics.

Project description:Manipulating the molecular orbital properties of excited states and the subsequent relaxation processes can greatly alter the emission behaviors of luminophores. Herein we report a vivid example of this, with luminescence conversion from thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) to ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (URTP) via a facile substituent effect on a rigid benzothiazino phenothiazine tetraoxide (BTPO) core. Pristine BTPO with multiple heteroatoms shows obvious intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited states with small exchange energy, featuring TADF. Via delicately functionalizing the BTPO core with peripheral moieties, the excited states of the BTPO derivatives become a hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) state in the S1 state and a local excitation (LE) dominated HLCT state in the T1 state, with enlarged energy bandgaps. Upon dispersion in a polymer matrix, the BTPO derivatives exhibit a persistent bright green afterglow with long lifetimes of up to 822 ms and decent quantum yields of up to 11.6%.

High-efficiency color-tunable ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence from organic-inorganic metal halides <i>via</i> synergistic inter/intramolecular interactions.

Project description:Materials exhibiting highly efficient, ultralong and multicolor-tunable room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) are of practical importance for emerging applications. However, these are still very scarce and remain a formidable challenge. Herein, using precise structure design, several novel organic-inorganic metal-halide hybrids with efficient and ultralong RTP have been developed based on an identical organic cation (A). The original organic salt (ACl) exhibits red RTP properties with low phosphorescence efficiency. However, after embedding metals into the organic salt, the changed crystal structure endows the resultant metal-halide hybrids with excellent RTP properties. In particular, A2ZnCl4·H2O exhibits the highest RTP efficiency of up to 56.56% with a long lifetime of up to 159 ms. It is found that multiple inter/intramolecular interactions and the strong heavy-atom effect of the rigid metal-halide hybrids can suppress molecular motion and promote the ISC process, resulting in highly stable and localized triplet excitons followed by highly efficient RTP. More crucially, multicolor-tunable fluorescence and RTP achieved by tuning the metal and halogen endow these materials with wide application prospects in the fields of multilevel information encryption and dynamic optical data storage. The findings promote the development of phosphorescent metal-halide hybrids for potential high-tech applications.

Polymorphism-Dependent Dynamic Ultralong Organic Phosphorescence.

Project description:Developing ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials with smart response to external stimuli is of great interest in photonics applications, whereas the manipulation of molecular stacking on tuning such dynamic UOP is still a formidable challenge. Herein, we have reported two polymorphs with distinct photoactivated dynamic UOP behavior based on a pyridine derivative for the first time. Our experiment revealed that the dynamic UOP behavior including photoactivation and deactivation feature is highly dependent on irradiation intensity and environmental atmosphere. Additionally, given the unique dynamic UOP feature, these phosphors have been successfully applied to phosphorescence-dependent molecular logic gate and timing data storage. This result not only paves a way to design smart functional materials but also expands the scope of the applications on organic phosphorescence materials.

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.
