Achieving Dual Persistent Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence from Polycyclic Luminophores via Inter‐/Intramolecular Charge Transfer
Abstract
Organic persistent room‐temperature phosphorescence (OPRTP) materials show great prospects in optoelectronic and biomedical applications, such as display, anti‐counterfeiting, sensing, and bioimaging. However, the reported OPRTP material systems are relatively rare, and it is a challenge to achieve the tunability of OPRTP. In this work, a series of polycyclic luminophores are developed based on an indole derivative (6,12‐diphenyl‐5,6,11,12‐tetrahydroindolo[3,2‐ b ] carbazole, Ben‐H) as the structural skeleton. These compounds unexpectedly exhibit dual OPRTP at 442 to 623 nm with lifetimes spanning from 2 to 759 ms. Experimental data and theoretical calculations suggest that CH⋅⋅⋅π interactions in the T‐shaped dimers facilitate the intermolecular charge transfer, resulting in OPRTP in the yellow spectral region, and the persistent blue emission results from the intramolecular charge transfer. This work contributes to better understand the key role of charge transfer in achieving OPRTP and broaden the scope of OPRTP materials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
