Article Abstract

As a typical thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitter with green emission, 4CzIPN has attracted much attention recently. Most studies indicated that 4CzIPN doped in different hosts presented different performances; thus, the hosts should have an obvious influence on its photophysical properties. Herein, the influence of four kinds of hosts, including m-CzPym, m-CzTrz, p-CzPym, and p-CzTrz, on the photophysical properties of 4CzIPN is investigated. Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to simulate the host-guest conformations, and the photophysical properties were studied using the combined quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics method coupled with the thermal-vibration correlation function method. It is found that 4CzIPN in doped films has larger transition dipole moments and spin-orbital coupling constants compared to that in nondoped films. Faster radiative decay, intersystem crossing rates, and higher fluorescence efficiency could be obtained in doped films. Our work helps to better understand the photophysical properties of 4CzIPN in doped films and may favor the design of new hosts.

Purely organic materials showing efficient and persistent emission via room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) allow the design of minimalistic yet powerful technological solutions for sensing, bioimaging, information storage, and safety applications using the photonic design principle of digital luminescence. Although several promising materials exist, a deep understanding of the underlying structure-property relationship and, thus, development of rational design strategies are widely missing. Some of the best purely organic emitters follow the donor-acceptor-donor design motif.

Polymorphic two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) exhibit diverse properties for optoelectronic applications. Here, utilizing phase-engineered MoTe as a prototypical platform, we comprehensively explored its ultrafast and nonlinear optical properties to complete the fundamental framework of phase-dependent optical phenomena in 2D TMDCs. Starting with the phase-selective synthesis of 2H- and 1T'-MoTe with tailored thicknesses, we revealed their distinct photocarrier relaxation mechanisms using intensive power-/temperature-/thickness-dependent transient absorption spectra (TAS).

The development of multifunctional fluorescent organic materials capable of selective ion detection, subcellular targeting, and logical operations is a burgeoning area in chemical biology and materials science. Herein, we report the design and development of a novel acylhydrazone based fluorescent ligand (HSN·Cl), which exhibits a distinct "turn-on" emission response toward Zn ions and a subsequent "turn-off" response in the presence of sulfide ions (S). The molecular design incorporates structural elements that facilitate the ESIPT feature, conferring the probe with unique photophysical properties.

Understanding the excited-state dynamics of atomically precise coinage metal nanoclusters (CMNCs) is pivotal for elucidating their photoluminescence (PL) mechanisms and rationally tuning emission properties-particularly in the near-infrared (NIR) region, where CMNC-based nanomaterials have tremendous potential for biomedical and optoelectronic applications. This review presents a systematic and comprehensive account of recent advances in investigating the excited-state dynamics and PL mechanisms of NIR-emitting CMNCs with atomic precision, leveraging the synergistic integration of time-resolved spectroscopy and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Distinct from previous reviews that offer a broad survey of CMNC properties, the present review focuses specifically on intrinsic factors, highlighting molecular vibrational features and electronic structure modulation as key determinants of NIR emission.
