Article Abstract

The research of purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials has drawn great attention for their wide potential applications. Besides single-component and host-guest doping systems, the self-doping with same molecule but different conformations in one state is also a possible way to construct RTP materials, regardless of its rare investigation. In this work, twenty-four phenothiazine derivatives with two distinct molecular conformations were designed and their RTP behaviors in different states were systematically studied, with the aim to deeply understand the self-doping effect on the corresponding RTP property. While the phenothiazine derivatives with quasi-axial (ax) conformation presented better RTP performance in aggregated state, the quasi-equatorial (eq) ones were better in isolated state. Accordingly, the much promoted RTP performance was achieved in the stimulated self-doping state with ax-conformer as host and eq-one as guest, demonstrating the significant influence of self-doping on RTP effect.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are distinguished by their structural diversity, tunable electronic properties, and exceptional performance in various applications. Notably, the electron-donating ability of ligands significantly enhances the ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) processes within these frameworks, thereby promoting efficient charge migration. Herein, we developed two electron-rich macrocyclic ligands derived from phenothiazine- and phenoxazine-functionalized calix[3]arenes, alongside their corresponding cobalt-coordinated MOFs.

The construction of polymer-based photoactivated room-temperature phosphorescence systems remains a prominent research focus, yet the development of ultrafast activated systems under ambient conditions continues to pose a challenge. In this study, cyclized phenothiazine derivatives bearing diverse substituents are synthesized and incorporated into an amorphous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix, resulting in significantly enhanced dynamic photoactivation characteristics compared with those of their pristine monomeric counterparts. Under ambient conditions and 2 s irradiation, the lifetime and quantum yield of C[4]PTZ-OH@PVA increase by factors of 1.

Three donor-acceptor-donor (D-AD) dyads of twisted structures, named PXZ-phen, PTZ-phen and DMAC-phen, were obtained by the nucleophilic substitution of 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline (phen) with 10H-phenoxazine (PXZH), 10H-phenothiazine (PTZH) and 9,9-dimethyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (DMACH), and thoroughly investigated in order to determine the donor impact on intramolecular charge transfer (CT) processes and thermally-activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) properties of these systems. Perturbations in the properties of both ground and excited states of PXZ-phen, PTZ-phen and DMAC-phen were investigated via electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, static, and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. The experimental results were theoretically supported using the density functional theory (DFT).

In this study, the influence of various substituents on the fluorescence properties and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process of 2-hydroxy-3-phenyliminomethyl-10-butyl phenothiazine (Ph) were systematically investigated using density-functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT). Five Ph derivatives were strategically designed by incorporating two electron-donating groups (NH, MeO) and three electron-withdrawing groups (CN, CHO, NO). Analysis the structural parameters and IR spectra revealed that the intramolecular hydrogen bonding in Ph and its derivatives was enhanced in the S state.

Herein, we report an efficient visible-light-mediated reaction of alkynones with ethyl diazoacetate for the construction of cyclic frameworks containing the 1,4-dicarbonyl moiety. In this photocatalytic system, a readily available phenothiazine derivative serves as the organic catalyst, which, upon photoexcitation, gains strong reducing power to facilitate the divergent synthesis of structurally diverse thioflavone derivatives. This metal-free protocol exhibits broad substrate scope and mild reaction conditions, providing a versatile and sustainable approach to high-value heterocycles.
