Article Abstract
Nonconventional luminogens have great potential applications in fields like cell imaging and anti-counterfeiting encryption. But so far, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of most these solids is still relatively low and the persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) emission is relatively weak. To improve their PLQY and p-RTP, pressing the powder into tablets is preliminarily proven to be an effective method, but the specific mechanism has not been fully elucidated yet. Herein, carboxymethyl β-cyclodextrin (CM-β-CD) is chosen as the representative to solve the problem. The results show that the PLQY and p-RTP lifetimes of the tablet of CM-β-CD are improved compared to the powder. By the mechanism of clustering-triggered emission and average packing density-promoted emission mechanism, it is demonstrated that the enhanced molecular interactions after compression is the key reason, resulting in the formation of cluster emission centers with stronger emission capabilities. CM-β-CD is proven to have excellent cell imaging and anti-counterfeiting functions.

The development and characterization of a sustainable carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)-based material hosting Egyptian blue (EB) as a luminophore with emission in both the visible and NIR regions is herein presented and discussed, demonstrating its potential to be applied in a variety of applications, such as bioimaging, sensing, and security marking. Solution casting was used to synthesize the films, with citric acid (CA) as a crosslinking agent. Fully characterization was performed using attenuated total reflection (ATR) and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectroscopy, zeta potential, UV-Vis, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, and thermal analysis techniques, such as thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

Nonconventional luminophores (NCLs) are attracting significant attention for their unique properties and applications. However, the lack of a comprehensive mechanistic understanding impedes their further development. Particularly, a recurring assumption that impurities are responsible for the luminescence has hindered progress.

ConspectusNonconventional luminophores, characterized by the absence of extended (hetero)aromatic building blocks and alternating single-double/triple bonds, are composed primarily of electron-rich moieties, such as heteroatoms, double bonds, aliphatic amines, carbonyls, hydroxyls, cyano groups, amides, and their grouped functionalities. These unique structural features, coupled with their intriguing luminescent properties, have garnered significant interest for both fundamental research and promising applications, thus enabling widespread exploration. They generally benefit from abundant resources, simple synthesis, outstanding biocompatibility, and excellent photostability, empowering their potential applications in bioimaging, data storage and encryption, anticounterfeiting, bio- and chemosensing, etc.

Nonconventional Luminescent Materials (NLMs) with distinctive optical properties are garnering significant attention. A key challenge in their practical application lies in precisely controlling their emission behavior, particularly achieving excitation wavelength-independent emission, which is paramount for accurate chemical sensing. In this study, NLMs (Y1, Y2, Y3, and Y4) are synthesized via a click reaction, and it is found that excitation wavelength-dependent emission correlates with molecular cluster formation.
