Article Abstract

Developing a facile strategy to realize fine-tuning of phosphorescence color in time-dependent room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials is essential but both theoretically and practically rarely exploited. Through simultaneously confining carboxyl dimer association and isolated carboxyl into the particle via a simple hydrothermal treatment of polyacrylic acid, a dual-peak emission of red phosphorescence (645 nm) and green phosphorescence (550 nm) was observed from carbonized polymer dots (CPDs). The ratio of the two luminescent species can be well regulated by hydrochloric acid inhibiting the dissociation of carboxyl to promote hydrogen bond. Due to comparable but different lifetimes, color-tunable time-dependent RTP with color changing from yellow to green or orange to green were obtained. Based on the crosslinking enhanced emission effect, the phosphorescence visible time was even extended to 7 s through introducing polyethylenimide. This study not only proposes a novel and facile method for developing CPDs with color-tunable time-dependent RTP, but also provides a bran-new non-conjugated red phosphorescence unit and its definite structure.

Achieving multi-color tunable time-dependent afterglow color (TDAC) in pure organic materials under visible light excitation remains a significant challenge. Herein, TDAC composites (CDs/U) are prepared with multi-color tunability upon visible-light excitation. Furthermore, the TDAC mechanism is the coexistence of shorter-lived afterglow and longer-lived afterglow.

Constructing polymer-based ultralong organic room-temperature phosphorescence (UORTP) materials that exhibit time-dependent phosphorescent color variation holds profound significance. Triarylboranes, as a typical class of fluorophores, are widely used in the fabrication of various functional organic luminescent materials, and achieving UORTP materials from triarylboranes has become an important studied topic. In this study, a polymer-based UORTP material is fabricated by means of doping organic phosphor () composed of boronic acid-modified triarylborane unit into a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix, which is attributed to the hydrogen bonding between and PVA, effectively suppressing the nonradiative decay.

Achieving full-color time-dependent tunable phosphorescence (TDTP) in pure organic materials remains a significant challenge due to the nonradiative transition and modulation puzzle of triplet states. Herein, full-color TDTP has been realized in self-protective carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) under ambient conditions using a self-doping strategy. These CPDs are generated with dual emission centers of the high-energy N-related triplet state and the low-energy surface oxide triplet state, which are responsible for the slow-decaying blue afterglow (453 nm) and the fast-decaying green to red afterglow (513-609 nm), respectively.

Single compounds displaying a wide range of luminescent colors are attractive optical materials for sensor applications. In this study, we present the beneficial combination of a cyclometalated iridium(III) complex scaffold and boronic acid units for designing stimulus-responsive luminescent materials with various emission colors. Five iridium(III) complexes bearing a diboronic acid ligand (bpyB2) were synthesized: Ir(C^N)bpyB2 (C^N=2-phenylpyridine (1), 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine (2), 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)pyridine (3), benzo[h]quinoline (4), 1-phenylisoquinoline (5)).
