Pure Boric Acid Does Not Show Room-Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP).

ABSTRACT: Boric acid (BA) has been used as a transparent glass matrix for optical materials for over 100 years. However, recently, apparent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from BA (crystalline and powder states) was reported (Zheng et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, 9500) when irradiated at 280 nm under ambient conditions. We suspected that RTP from their BA sample was induced by an unidentified impurity. Our experimental results show that pure BA synthesized from B(OMe)₃ does not luminesce in the solid state when irradiated at 250-400 nm, while commercial BA indeed (faintly) luminesces. Our theoretical calculations show that neither individual BA molecules nor aggregates would absorb light at >175 nm, and we observe no absorption of solid pure BA experimentally at >200 nm. Therefore, it is not possible for pure BA to be excited at >250 nm even in the solid state. Thus, pure BA does not display RTP, whereas trace impurities can induce RTP.

High-Speed and Continuous-Wave Programmable Luminescent Tags Based on Exclusive Room Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP).

Project description:Most materials recently developed for room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) lack in practical relevance due to their inconvenient crystalline morphology. Using amorphous material systems instead, programmable luminescent tags (PLTs) based on organic biluminescent emitter molecules with easy processing and smooth sample shapes are presented recently. Here, the effective quenching of the emitter's RTP by molecular oxygen (O2 ) and the consumption of the excited singlet O2 through a chemical reaction represent the central features. With customized activation schemes, high-resolution content can be written and later erased multiple times into such films, providing a versatile yet simple photonic platform for information storage. However, two important limitations remain: The immutable fluorescence of the emitters outshines the phosphorescent patterns by roughly one order of magnitude, allowing readout of the PLTs only after the excitation source is turned off. The programming of these systems is a rather slow process, where lowest reported activation times are still >8 s. Here, a material-focused approach to PLTs with fast activation times of 120 ± 20 ms and high-contrast under continuous-wave illumination is demonstrated, leading to accelerated programming on industry relevant time scales and a simplified readout process both by eye and low cost cameras.

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.

Stimulus-responsive room temperature phosphorescence materials with full-color tunability from pure organic amorphous polymers.

Project description:Achieving stimulus-responsive ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in organic materials especially with full-color tunable emissions is attractive and important but rarely reported. Here, a strategy was reported to realize stimulus-responsive RTP effect with color-tunable emissions by using water as solvent in the preparation process without any organic solvent through covalent linkage of arylboronic acids with different π conjugations and polymer matrix of polyvinyl alcohol. The yielded polymer films exhibit outstanding RTP performance (2.43 s). Furthermore, an excitation-dependent RTP film was obtained, and the afterglow color changes from blue to green, then to red as the excitation wavelength increases. The RTP property of all the above materials is sensitive to water and heat stimuli, because the rigidity of the system could be broken by water. Last, they were successfully applied in a multilevel information encryption and multicolor paper and ink.

Switching Singlet Exciton to Triplet for Efficient Pure Organic Room-Temperature Phosphorescence by Rational Molecular Design.

Project description:The design and regulation of phosphors are attractive but challenging because of the spin-forbidden intersystem crossing (ISC) process. Here, a new perspective on the enhancement of the ISC is proposed and demonstrated. Different from current strategies, the ISC yield (ΦISC) is enhanced by decreasing the fluorescence radiative transition rate constant (kF) via rational molecular designing rather than boosting the spin-orbit coupling by decorating the molecular skeleton with a heavy atom, heteroatom, or carbonyl. The kF of the designed molecule in this case is associated with the substituent position of the methoxy group, which alters the distribution of the front orbitals. The S0 → S1 transition of these compounds evolves from a bright state to a dark state gradually with the variation of the substituent position, accompanied by the decrease of kF and increase of ΦISC. The fluorescence emission is switched to phosphorescence emission successfully by regulating the kF. This work provides an alternative strategy to design efficient room-temperature phosphorescence material.

Modulating Room-Temperature Phosphorescence-To-Phosphorescence Mechanochromism by Halogen Exchange.

Project description:Modulating the stimulus-responsiveness of a luminescent crystal is challenging owing to the complex interdependent nature of its controlling factors, such as molecular structure, molecular conformation, crystal packing, optical properties, and amorphization behavior. Herein, we demonstrate a halogen-exchange approach that disentangles this problem, thereby realizing the modulation of room-temperature phosphorescence-to-phosphorescence mechanochromism. Replacing the bromine atoms in a brominated thienyl diketone with chlorine atoms afforded isostructural crystals; i.e., molecules with different halogen atoms exhibited the same molecular conformation and crystal packing. Consequently, amorphization behavior toward mechanical stimulation was also the same, and the phosphorescence of amorphous states originated from the same conformer of each diketone. In contrast, the phosphorescence properties of each conformer were modulated differently, which is ascribable to heavy atom effects, resulting in the modulation of the mechanochromism. Thus, halogen exchange is a promising approach for modulating the stimulus-responsive photofunctions of crystals involving spin-forbidden processes.

Room Temperature Phosphorescence Emission From Multi-States.

Project description:Organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have received considerable attention due to their fascinating photophysical properties. During the past decade, various organic luminogens exhibiting RTP emission in solid states were reported. However, the phosphorescence emission of organic compounds can hardly be observed in their solutions at room temperature. Herein, we reported two fluorene derivatives that can emit RTP in degassed organic solvents, polymer doped film, and crystalline states. Furthermore, those RTP luminogens emitted different colors with different phosphorescence lifetimes in multi-states. These results indicated that the phosphorescence performance can be adjusted flexibly in different condensed states. To our knowledge, this is the first example possessing diverse organic RTP at multi-states, including solution state.

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.

Red Phosphorescence from Benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazoles at Room Temperature.

Project description:We describe the red phosphorescence exhibited by a class of structurally simple benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazoles at room temperature. The photophysical properties of these molecules in deoxygenated cyclohexane, including their absorption spectra, steady-state photoluminescence and excitation spectra, and phosphorescence lifetimes, are presented. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations were carried out to better understand the electronic excited states of these benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazoles and why they are capable of phosphorescence.

A room temperature phosphorescence encoding [2]rotaxane molecular shuttle.

Project description:A novel bistable molecular shuttle, composed of a Pt(ii) porphyrin-containing dibenzo[24]crown-8 macrocycle threaded onto two different recognition sites (secondary dialkylammonium (NH2+) and 4,4'-bipyridinium (Bpym2+) units), and the anthracene (Anth) moiety as one terminal stopper, was synthesized by click chemistry. Its acid-base switchable shuttling could be addressed by both the room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission signals of the Pt(ii) porphyrin moiety and the fluorescence emission of the Anth unit, as well as their lifetime changes. When the macrocycle was switched to be located on the NH2+ site close to Anth, the Pt(ii) porphyrin moiety exhibited strong RTP emission, excited in the Anth band at 370 nm. This was due to the distance-dependent efficient singlet energy transfer between the Anth unit and the porphyrin moiety, followed by intersystem crossing from a singlet to a triplet state in Pt(ii) porphyrin, while its RTP emission dramatically decreased when located on the Bpym2+ site far from the Anth unit. When excited in the porphyrin band at 402 nm, the RTP emission lifetimes changed obviously. This is the first rotaxane-type molecular shuttle whose shuttling has been encoded by RTP signals.

Super-formable pure magnesium at room temperature.

Project description:Magnesium, the lightest structural metal, is difficult to form at room temperature due to an insufficient number of deformation modes imposed by its hexagonal structure and a strong texture developed during thermomechanical processes. Although appropriate alloying additions can weaken the texture, formability improvement is limited because alloying additions do not fundamentally alter deformation modes. Here we show that magnesium can become super-formable at room temperature without alloying. Despite possessing a strong texture, magnesium can be cold rolled to a strain at least eight times that possible in conventional processing. The resultant cold-rolled sheet can be further formed without cracking due to grain size reduction to the order of one micron and inter-granular mechanisms becoming dominant, rather than the usual slip and twinning. These findings provide a pathway for developing highly formable products from magnesium and other hexagonal metals that are traditionally difficult to form at room temperature.Replacing steel or aluminium vehicle parts with magnesium would result in reduced emissions, but shaping magnesium without cracking remains challenging. Here, the authors successfully extrude and roll textured magnesium into ductile foil at low temperatures by activating intra-granular mechanisms.
