Crystallization-induced phosphorescence of benzils at room temperature

Efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is rarely observed in pure organic luminogens. However, we have newly observed that benzil and its derivatives are nonluminescent in solvents and thin layer chromatography (TLC) plates, but become highly phosphorescent in crystal state at room temperature, exhibiting typical crystallization-induced phosphorescence (CIP) characteristics. The CIP phenomenon is ascribed to the restriction of intramolecular rotations in crystals owing to effective intermolecular interactions. Such intermolecular interactions greatly rigidify the molecular conformation and significantly decrease the nonradiative deactivation channels of the triplet excitons, thus giving boosted phosphorescent emission at room temperature.

Manipulating intermolecular interactions for ultralong organic phosphorescence

Ultralong organic phosphorescence(UOP)materials have received considerable attention in the field of organic optoelectronics due to their long lifetime,high exciton utilization,large Stokes shift,and so on.Great advancements have been achieved through manipulating intermolecular interactions for high-performance UOP materials in recent years.This review will discuss the influence of various intermolecular interactions,includingπ-πinteractions,n-πinteractions,halogen bonding,hydrogen bonding,coordinative bonding,and ionic bonding on phosphorescent properties at room temperature,respectively.We summarize the rule of manipulating intermolecular interactions for UOP materials with superior phosphorescent properties.This review will provide a guideline for developing new UOP materials with superior phosphorescent properties for potential applications in organic electronics and bioelectronics.

一锅法合成可印刷室温磷光二氟化硼衍生物

纯有机室温磷光(RTP)材料因其潜在的应用价值而备受关注.迄今,多数已报道的有机RTP材料在晶态下发射出较强的RTP,但在溶液加工过程中易生成无定形态,从而失去RTP性能.本文通过一锅法两步反应,合成了含有多个甲氧基的二氟化硼衍生物(BF2-tPMO).晶体结构分析表明,多个甲氧基的存在构建了有效的分子间非共价相互作用.这些非共价键作用可抑制分子运动,保持较高的发光效率.此外,这些非共价键作用能够使其在溶剂处理后依然保持晶态性质,进而保持RTP性能.实验结果表明,BF2-tPMO可溶解在不同溶剂中且在溶剂蒸发后仍能保持相同的RTP特性,为易加工型RTP材料的设计提供了有效的策略.
