Abstract

Considerable achievements on multiple emission capabilities and tunable wavelengths have been obtained in inorganic luminescent materials. However, the development of organic counterparts remains a grand challenge. Herein we report a series of 2-/2,6-aryl substituted boron-dipyrromethene dyes with wide-range and multi-fluorescence emissions across red and near infrared in their aggregation states. Experimental data of X-ray diffraction, UV–vis absorption, and room temperature fluorescence spectra have proved the multiple excitation and easy-adjustable emission features in aggregated boron-dipyrromethene dyes. Temperature-dependent and time-resolved fluorescence studies have indicated a successive energy transfer from high to step-wisely lower-located energy levels that correspond to different excitation states of aggregates. Consistent quantum chemical calculation results have proposed possible aggregation modes of boron-dipyrromethene dyes to further support the above-described scenario. Thus, this study greatly enriches the fundamental recognition of conventional boron-dipyrromethene dyes by illustrating the relationships between multiple emission behaviors and the aggregation states of boron-dipyrromethene molecules.

  • Successive domino-like energy transfer in 2-/2,6-aryl substituted BODIPY dyes (BDP1) has been observed from high to step-wisely lower-located energy levels corresponding to different excitation states of aggregates, which leads to multifluorescence emissions across red and NIR-SWIR in their aggregation states.

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.
