Whilst previous studies generally focused on fluorescence from aliphatic amine or carbonylcontaining systems, less attention has been paid to room temperature phosphorescence(RTP) and the systems with predominant oxygen functionalities. In this work, photophysical properties of the polyhydroxy polymers, including microcrystalline cellulose(MCC), 2-hydroxyethyl cellulose(HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC), and cellulose acetate(CA), were studied and compared. While MCC,HEC, and HPC solids showed bright emission alongside distinct RTP, CA demonstrated relatively low intensity of solid emission without noticeable RTP. Their emissions were explained in terms of the clustering-triggered emission(CTE) mechanism and conformation rigidification. Additionally, on account of its intrinsic emission, concentrated HEC aqueous solution could be used as the probe for the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrophenol(TNP).展开更多
