Persistent Room-Temperature Phosphorescence from Purely Organic Molecules and Multi-Component Systems

Zhu Wu et al.

Summary: This review discusses organic molecular materials that exhibit long triplet lifetimes at room temperature, examining whether they originate from a molecular or multi-component system. In purely organic phosphors, heteroatoms are typically introduced into the backbone to enhance the singlet-triplet ISC rate constant. In multi-component systems, the implementation of strategies such as host-guest interactions, polymer matrix, copolymerization, and supramolecular assembly create a rigid matrix that restricts nonradiative pathways, resulting in ultralong RTP.

Pengfei She et al.

Summary: This study presents a molecular design strategy for controlling the persistent room-temperature phosphorescence behavior of organic luminophores by introducing various substituent groups, allowing for fine control of responsive behaviors such as photoactivation speeds and emission decay times upon UV excitation. Crystal analyses and simulated calculations demonstrate that variations in molecular stacking upon photoirradiation are responsible for different persistent RTP behaviors. Additionally, one luminophore exhibits tunable persistent RTP from blue to green with changing temperatures, and successful information encryption and visual temperature detection of these molecules were achieved.
