Time-Dependent Afterglow from a Single Component Organic Luminogen.

ABSTRACT: Pure organic luminogens with long-persistent luminescence have been extensively studied, on account of their fundamental research significance and diverse utilizations in anticounterfeiting, bioimaging, encryption, organic light-emitting diodes, chemo-sensing, etc. However, time-dependent color-tunable afterglow is rarely reported, especially for single-component materials. In this work, we reported an organic luminogen with time-dependent afterglow, namely, benzoyleneurea (BEU), with multiple persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) in single crystals. While the lifetime of TADF is relatively short (~1.2 ms), those for p-RTP are as long as around 369~754 ms. The comparable but different decay rates of diversified p-RTP emissions endow BEU crystals with obvious time-dependent afterglow. The existence of multiple emissions can be reasonably illustrated by the clustering-triggered emission (CTE) mechanism. Single-crystal structure illustrates that the combination of benzene ring and nonconventional chromophores of ureide helps facilitate divergent intermolecular interactions, which contribute to the formation of varying emissive species. Moreover, its methyl- and chloro-substituted derivatives show similar multiple p-RTP emissions. However, no time-dependent afterglows are observed in their crystals, due to the highly approaching lifetimes. The afterglow color variation of BEU crystals grants its applications in advanced anticounterfeiting field and information encryption.

An aggregation-induced emission dye-powered afterglow luminogen for tumor imaging.

Project description:Semiconducting polymer (SP)-based afterglow luminogens are showing increasing potential for in vivo imaging because of their long-life luminescence and the associated benefits (e.g., zero-autofluorescence background and high signal-to-noise ratio). However, such organic afterglow luminescence agents are still rare and their application is usually limited by their relatively low afterglow intensity and short afterglow duration. Herein, we report an aggregation-induced emission (AIE) dye-powered SP afterglow luminogen by leveraging on the unique characteristics of an AIE dye to circumvent the concentration-quenching effect, enhance afterglow intensity and prolong afterglow duration. The underlying working mechanism is investigated by a series of experiments and it is found that the AIE dye provides sufficient 1O2 to excite SPs and form massive amounts of high-energy intermediates, and then the SP intermediates emit photons that can activate the AIE dye to generate 1O2 and simultaneously trigger the energy transfer process between the SPs and AIE dye, resulting in a deep-red emission. It is this closed-loop of "photon-1O2-SP intermediates-photon" that provides the afterglow emission even after the cessation of the excitation light. The as-prepared luminogen shows good performance in in vivo tumour imaging. This study demonstrates the advantages of AIE-facilitated afterglow luminescence and discloses its mechanism, and hopefully it could inspire the development of other innovative designs for cancer theranostics.

Mechanism landscape in pyrylium induced organic afterglow systems.

Project description:Manipulation of excited states and their dynamics represents a central topic in luminescence systems. We report an unexpected emergence of a high-performance organic afterglow in pyrylium induced photopolymerization systems, as well as the establishment of the mechanism landscape of the afterglow systems as a function of monomer types. In the case of methyl methacrylate, after pyrylium-catalyzed photopolymerization, the obtained materials exhibit a TADF-type organic afterglow with an afterglow efficiency of 70.4%. By using heavy-atom-containing methacrylate, the external heavy atom effect speeds up phosphorescence decay and switches on room-temperature phosphorescence in pyrylium-polymer systems. When 9-vinylcarbazole is used, the resultant materials display organic long persistent luminescence with hour-long durations and emission maxima around 650 nm. The intriguing mechanism landscape reflects the delicate balance of multiple photophysical processes in the pyrylium induced organic afterglow systems, which has been rarely explored in the reported studies.

Tunable Fluorescence and Afterglow in Organic Crystals for Temperature Sensing.

Project description:The modulation of the properties of emission from multiple emission states in a single-component organic luminescent material is highly desirable in data anticounterfeiting, information storage, and bioapplications. Here, a single-component luminescent organic crystal of difluoroboron diphenyl β-diketonate with controllable multiple emission colors is successfully reported. The temperature-dependent luminescence experiments supported by high-level theoretical calculations demonstrate that the ratio of the fluorescence between the monomer and excimer and the phosphorescence maxima of the excimer can be effectively regulated. In addition, the temperature-dependent fluorescence and afterglow dual-emission color changes provide a new strategy for the design of highly accurate double-checked temperature sensors.

Long-afterglow metal-organic frameworks: reversible guest-induced phosphorescence tunability.

Project description:Luminescent metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received much attention due to their wide structural tunability and potential application in light-emitting diodes, biological imaging and chemical sensors. However, successful examples of long-persistent afterglow MOFs are still quite limited to date. In this work, we report that two types of Zn-terephthalate (TPA) MOFs (namely [Zn(TPA)(DMF)] (1-DMF) and MOF-5) could exhibit an obvious room-temperature afterglow emission with a time-resolved luminescence lifetime as high as 0.47 seconds. The phosphorescence-based afterglow was also highly sensitive to the temperature, and the reversible emission intensity could be recycled under high/low temperatures. Moreover, both 1-DMF and MOF-5 showed highly tunable afterglow phosphorescence colors (from cyan to yellow and from green to red, respectively) upon treatment with pyridine solution. The fluorescence/phosphorescence emission color of MOF-5 can be reversibly switched due to the addition and removal of a pyridine guest to and from the host nanochannel, as shown in both experimental and computational studies. Therefore, this work not only shows a facile method to develop MOF-based long-afterglow materials at room temperature, but also presents a strategy to tune their phosphorescence in a wide range based on host-guest interactions.

Thermally activated triplet exciton release for highly efficient tri-mode organic afterglow.

Project description:Developing high-efficient afterglow from metal-free organic molecules remains a formidable challenge due to the intrinsically spin-forbidden phosphorescence emission nature of organic afterglow, and only a few examples exhibit afterglow efficiency over 10%. Here, we demonstrate that the organic afterglow can be enhanced dramatically by thermally activated processes to release the excitons on the stabilized triplet state (T1*) to the lowest triplet state (T1) and to the singlet excited state (S1) for spin-allowed emission. Designed in a twisted donor-acceptor architecture with small singlet-triplet splitting energy and shallow exciton trapping depth, the thermally activated organic afterglow shows an efficiency up to 45%. This afterglow is an extraordinary tri-mode emission at room temperature from the radiative decays of S1, T1, and T1*. With the highest afterglow efficiency reported so far, the tri-mode afterglow represents an important concept advance in designing high-efficient organic afterglow materials through facilitating thermally activated release of stabilized triplet excitons.

Organic-Component Dependent Crystal Orientation and Electrical Transport Properties in ALD/MLD Grown ZnO-Organic Superlattices.

Project description:Two series of ZnO-organic superlattice thin films are fabricated with systematically controlled frequencies of monomolecular hydroquinone (HQ) or terephthalic acid (TPA) based organic layers within the ZnO matrix using the atomic/molecular layer deposition (ALD/MLD) technique. The two different organic components turn the film orientation to different directions and affect the electrical transport properties differently. While the TPA layers enhance the c-axis orientation of the ZnO layers and act as electrical barriers depressing the electrical conductivity even in low concentrations, adding the HQ layers enhances the a-axis orientation and initially increases the carrier concentration, effective mass, and electrical conductivity. The work thus demonstrates the intriguing but little exploited role of the organic component in controlling the properties of the inorganic matrix in advanced layer-engineered inorganic-organic superlattices.

Highest-<i>T</i> <sub>c</sub> single-component homochiral organic ferroelectrics.

Project description:Organic single-component ferroelectrics with low molecular mass have drawn great attention for application in organic electronics. However, the discovery of high-T c single-component organic ferroelectrics has been very scarce. Herein, we report a pair of homochiral single-component organic ferroelectrics (R)-10-camphorsulfonylimine and (S)-10-camphorsulfonylimine under the guidance of ferroelectric chiral chemistry. They crystallize in the chiral-polar space group P21, and their mirror image relations have been identified using vibrational circular dichroism spectra. They both exhibit 422F2 multiaxial ferroelectricity with T c as high as 429 K. Besides, they possess superior acoustic impedance characteristics with a value of 2.45 × 106 kg s-1 m-2, lower than that of PVDF. To our knowledge, enantiomeric (R and S)-10-camphorsulfonylimine show the highest T c among the known organic single-component ferroelectrics and low acoustic impedance well matching with that of bodily tissues. This work promotes the development of high-performance organic single-component ferroelectrics and is of great inspiration to explore their application in next-generation flexible smart devices.

Free charge photogeneration in a single component high photovoltaic efficiency organic semiconductor.

Project description:Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) promise cheap and flexible solar energy. Whereas light generates free charges in silicon photovoltaics, excitons are normally formed in organic semiconductors due to their low dielectric constants, and require molecular heterojunctions to split into charges. Recent record efficiency OPVs utilise the small molecule, Y6, and its analogues, which - unlike previous organic semiconductors - have low band-gaps and high dielectric constants. We show that, in Y6 films, these factors lead to intrinsic free charge generation without a heterojunction. Intensity-dependent spectroscopy reveals that 60-90% of excitons form free charges at AM1.5 light intensity. Bimolecular recombination, and hole traps constrain single component Y6 photovoltaics to low efficiencies, but recombination is reduced by small quantities of donor. Quantum-chemical calculations reveal strong coupling between exciton and CT states, and an intermolecular polarisation pattern that drives exciton dissociation. Our results challenge how current OPVs operate, and renew the possibility of efficient single-component OPVs.

Enabling robust blue circularly polarized organic afterglow through self-confining isolated chiral chromophore.

Project description:Creating circularly polarized organic afterglow system with elevated triplet energy levels, suppressed non-radiative transitions, and effective chirality, which are three critical prerequisites for achieving blue circularly polarized afterglow, has posed a formidable challenge. Herein, a straightforward approach is unveiled to attain blue circularly polarized afterglow materials by covalently self-confining isolated chiral chromophore within polymer matrix. The formation of robust hydrogen bonds within the polymer matrix confers a distinctly isolated and stabilized molecular state of chiral chromophores, endowing a blue emission band at 414 nm, lifetime of 3.0 s, and luminescent dissymmetry factor of ~ 10-2. Utilizing the synergistic afterglow and chirality energy transfer, full-color circularly polarized afterglow systems are endowed by doping colorful fluorescent molecules into designed blue polymers, empowering versatile applications. This work paves the way for the streamlined design of blue circularly polarized afterglow materials, expanding the horizons of circularly polarized afterglow materials into various domains.
