Thermal annealing promoted room temperature phosphorescence: motion models and internal mechanism.

ABSTRACT: Thermal annealing has been proven to be an efficient method to optimize the device performance of organic and polymeric opto-electronic materials. However, no detailed information of aggregate structures was obtained for a deeper understanding of what happens during thermal annealing. Herein, through modulation of molecular configurations by tunable linkage positions, and the amplified amplitudes of molecular motions by incorporation of additional methylene units, accurate changes of aggregated structures upon thermal annealing have been achieved, accompanying with the 'turn-on' room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) response by about 4800- and 177-fold increase of lifetimes. The stretching and swing motion models have been proposed, which afforded an efficient way to investigate the science of dynamic aggregation in depth.

Molecular Thermal Motion Modulated Room-Temperature Phosphorescence for Multilevel Encryption.

Project description:The stimulus-responsive room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have become an increasingly significant topic in the fields of bioimaging, sensing, and anticounterfeiting. However, this kind of materials is scarce to date, especially for the ones with delicate stimulus-responsive behavior. Herein, a universal strategy for multilevel thermal erasure of RTP via chromatographic separation of host-guest doping RTP systems is proposed. The tunable host-guest systems, matrix materials, heating temperature, and time are demonstrated to allow precise six-level data encryption, QR code encryption, and thermochromic phosphorescence encryption. Mechanistic study reveals that the thermal-responsive property might be attributed to molecular thermal motion and the separation effect of the silica gel, which provides expanded applications of host-guest RTP materials such as cold chain break detection. This work offers a simple yet universal way to construct advanced responsive RTP materials.

Photo-thermo-induced room-temperature phosphorescence through solid-state molecular motion.

Project description:The development of smart-responsive materials, in particular those with non-invasive, rapid responsive phosphorescence, is highly desirable but has rarely been described. Herein, we designed and prepared a series of molecular rotors containing a triazine core and three bromobiphenyl units: o-Br-TRZ, m-Br-TRZ, and p-Br-TRZ. The bromine and triazine moieties serve as room temperature phosphorescence-active units, and the bromobiphenyl units serve as rotors to drive intramolecular rotation. When irradiated with strong ultraviolet photoirradiation, intramolecular rotations of o-Br-TRZ, m-Br-TRZ, and p-Br-TRZ increase, successively resulting in a photothermal effect via molecular motions. Impressively, the photothermal temperature attained by p-Br-TRZ is as high as 102 °C, and synchronously triggers its phosphorescence due to the ordered molecular arrangement after molecular motion. The thermal effect is expected to be important for triggering efficient phosphorescence, and the photon input for providing a precise and non-invasive stimulus. Such sequential photo-thermo-phosphorescence conversion is anticipated to unlock a new stimulus-responsive phosphorescence material without chemicals invasion.

Photoactivated room temperature phosphorescence from lignin.

Project description:Sustainable photoactivated room temperature phosphorescent materials exhibit great potential but are difficult to obtain. Here, we develop photoactivated room temperature phosphorescent materials by covalently attaching lignin to polylactic acid, where lignin and polylactic acid are the chromophore and matrix, respectively. Initially the phosphorescence of the lignin is quenched by residual O2. However, the phosphorescence is switched on when the residual oxygen is consumed by the triplet excitons of lignin under continuous UV light irradiation. As such, the lifetime increases from 3.0 ms to 221.1 ms after 20 s of UV activation. Interestingly, the phosphorescence is quenched again after being kept under an atmosphere of air for 2 h in the absence of UV irradiation due to the diffusion of oxygen into the materials. Using these properties, as-developed material is successfully used as a smart anti-counterfeiting logo for a medicine bottle and for information recording.

Modulating Room-Temperature Phosphorescence-To-Phosphorescence Mechanochromism by Halogen Exchange.

Project description:Modulating the stimulus-responsiveness of a luminescent crystal is challenging owing to the complex interdependent nature of its controlling factors, such as molecular structure, molecular conformation, crystal packing, optical properties, and amorphization behavior. Herein, we demonstrate a halogen-exchange approach that disentangles this problem, thereby realizing the modulation of room-temperature phosphorescence-to-phosphorescence mechanochromism. Replacing the bromine atoms in a brominated thienyl diketone with chlorine atoms afforded isostructural crystals; i.e., molecules with different halogen atoms exhibited the same molecular conformation and crystal packing. Consequently, amorphization behavior toward mechanical stimulation was also the same, and the phosphorescence of amorphous states originated from the same conformer of each diketone. In contrast, the phosphorescence properties of each conformer were modulated differently, which is ascribable to heavy atom effects, resulting in the modulation of the mechanochromism. Thus, halogen exchange is a promising approach for modulating the stimulus-responsive photofunctions of crystals involving spin-forbidden processes.

Multilevel Data Encryption Using Thermal-Treatment Controlled Room Temperature Phosphorescence of Carbon Dot/Polyvinylalcohol Composites.

Project description:Thermal-treatment controlled room temperature phosphorescence is realized by embedding either originally synthesized carbon dots (CDs) or 200 °C thermal-treated CDs into a polyvinylalcohol (PVA) matrix through post-synthetic thermal annealing at 200 or 150 °C. The thermal-treatment controlled phosphorescence is attributed to the transfer of photoexcitation from the excited singlet state to the triplet state through intersystem crossing, followed by radiative transition to the ground state, which is due to decrease of quenchers (oxygen) in the CDs and suppression of the vibrational dissipations through the chemical bonding of CDs in the PVA matrix. Multilevel fluorescence/phosphorescence data encryption is demonstrated based on the thermal-treatment controlled phosphorescence from CD@PVA composites.

Room Temperature Phosphorescence Emission From Multi-States.

Project description:Organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials have received considerable attention due to their fascinating photophysical properties. During the past decade, various organic luminogens exhibiting RTP emission in solid states were reported. However, the phosphorescence emission of organic compounds can hardly be observed in their solutions at room temperature. Herein, we reported two fluorene derivatives that can emit RTP in degassed organic solvents, polymer doped film, and crystalline states. Furthermore, those RTP luminogens emitted different colors with different phosphorescence lifetimes in multi-states. These results indicated that the phosphorescence performance can be adjusted flexibly in different condensed states. To our knowledge, this is the first example possessing diverse organic RTP at multi-states, including solution state.

Purely Organic Microparticles Showing Ultralong Room Temperature Phosphorescence.

Project description:Currently, organic phosphorescent particles are heavily used in sensing and imaging. Up to now, most of these particles contain poisonous and/or expensive metal complexes. Environmentally friendly systems are therefore highly desired. A purely amorphous system consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) particles with incorporated N,N,N',N'-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)benzidine emitter molecules is presented in this work. Single particles with sizes between 400 and 840 nm show-depending on the environment-bright fluorescence and phosphorescence. The latter is observed when oxygen is not in the proximity of the emitting dye molecules. These particles can scavenge singlet oxygen, which is produced during the photoexcitation process, by incorporating it into the polymer matrix. This renders their use to be unharmful for the surrounding matter with possible application in marking schemes for living bodies.

Red Phosphorescence from Benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazoles at Room Temperature.

Project description:We describe the red phosphorescence exhibited by a class of structurally simple benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazoles at room temperature. The photophysical properties of these molecules in deoxygenated cyclohexane, including their absorption spectra, steady-state photoluminescence and excitation spectra, and phosphorescence lifetimes, are presented. Time-dependent density functional theory calculations were carried out to better understand the electronic excited states of these benzo[2,1,3]thiadiazoles and why they are capable of phosphorescence.

A room temperature phosphorescence encoding [2]rotaxane molecular shuttle.

Project description:A novel bistable molecular shuttle, composed of a Pt(ii) porphyrin-containing dibenzo[24]crown-8 macrocycle threaded onto two different recognition sites (secondary dialkylammonium (NH2+) and 4,4'-bipyridinium (Bpym2+) units), and the anthracene (Anth) moiety as one terminal stopper, was synthesized by click chemistry. Its acid-base switchable shuttling could be addressed by both the room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission signals of the Pt(ii) porphyrin moiety and the fluorescence emission of the Anth unit, as well as their lifetime changes. When the macrocycle was switched to be located on the NH2+ site close to Anth, the Pt(ii) porphyrin moiety exhibited strong RTP emission, excited in the Anth band at 370 nm. This was due to the distance-dependent efficient singlet energy transfer between the Anth unit and the porphyrin moiety, followed by intersystem crossing from a singlet to a triplet state in Pt(ii) porphyrin, while its RTP emission dramatically decreased when located on the Bpym2+ site far from the Anth unit. When excited in the porphyrin band at 402 nm, the RTP emission lifetimes changed obviously. This is the first rotaxane-type molecular shuttle whose shuttling has been encoded by RTP signals.

Making multi-twisted luminophores produce persistent room-temperature phosphorescence.

Project description:Multi-twisted molecules, especially those with more than four branched rotation axes, have served as superior prototypes in diverse fields like molecular machines, optical materials, sensors, and so forth. However, due to excessive non-radiative relaxation of these molecules, it remains challenging to address their persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (pRTP), which limits their further development. Herein, we develop a host-guest energy-transfer relay strategy to improve the phosphorescence lifetime of multi-twisted luminophores by over thousand-fold to realize pRTP, which can be witnessed by the naked eye after removing the excitation light source. Moreover, we employ photoexcitation-induced molecular rearrangement to further prolong the phosphorescence lifetime, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first example of photoactivation in ordered host-guest systems. Our systems show superior humidity and oxygen resistance, enabling long-term (at least over 9-12 months) stability of the pRTP properties. By achieving pRTP of multi-twisted luminophores, this work can advance the understanding of molecular photophysical mechanisms and guide the study of more molecular systems that are difficult to achieve pRTP.
