Eight new stable luminescent radicals are reported, and the luminescent properties of these radicals can be controlled by changing the hydrocarbon substituents.
Eight new stable luminescent radicals are reported. We previously reported that the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of diphenylpyridylmethyl radicals is dramatically increased by the addition of mesityl (2,4,6-trimethylphenyl) groups. By changing the mesityl groups to other hydrocarbon-substituted phenyl groups, the issue of the fluoresence efficiency and photostability of these radicals could be clarified. Contrary to our expectations, changing 2,4,6-trimethyl to 2,4,6-triisopropyl did not produce a positive effect, other than some improvement in purification. Nevertheless, a PLQY of more than 60% was a significant value. The addition of methyl substituents at the meta-positions drastically quenched the fluorescence in dichloromethane, while maintaining bright fluorescence in chloroform. Removing one of the ortho-methyl groups somewhat decreased the fluorescence efficiency but greatly improved the photostability. By using a phenyl substituent instead of a methyl group, more stabilization under photoirradiation could be achieved. The luminescent properties of eight new photostable radicals varied greatly depending on the hydrocarbon substituents.
