发光自由基 老树发新芽

Luminescent Radicals——Renaissance of an Old Material

从提出自由基的双线态电致发光新机制,到成功实现高发光效率的自由基,再到开发具有可调控自旋态的发光双自由基,这一系列的创新为一个世纪前已存在的自由基领域重新注入了新的活力。本文追溯了稳定有机自由基的历史,并介绍了我们在发光自由基领域近期的研究进展。

From the proposing of doublet electroluminescence of free radicals to the successfully achieving of high luminescence efficiency in these materials,and further to developing luminescent diradicals with controllable spin states,this series of innovations have revitalized the field of free radicals that existed a century ago.Here we trace the history of stable organic radicals and provide a detailed account of our research efforts in these unique materials.
