Article Abstract

Triphenylmethane (TPM) dyes, as one of largest classes of commercial colorants, have been widely used in industry such as dying processes, antifungal agents in aquaculture, cell staining and analytical chemistry. Here a simple triphenylmethane derivatives showing ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in air was described. Tris(2-methoxyphenyl)methane (TMPM) displays ultralong lifetimes of 0.74 s (crystal state, 298 K) and 1.15 s (THF solution, 77 K) and phosphorescence efficiency of 5.3 %. Single crystal analysis and theoretical calculation show that RTP phosphorescence might be determined by the space packing of molecules in solid-state. The present finding may update the application of triphenylmethane dyes and open a new chapter in the ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) research of triphenylmethane derivatives.

BN-fused aromatic compounds have garnered significant attention due to their unique electronic structures and exceptional photophysical properties, positioning them as highly promising candidates for applications in organic optoelectronics. However, the regioselective synthesis of BN isomers remains a formidable challenge, primarily stemming from the difficulty in precisely controlling reaction sites, limiting structural diversity and property tunability. Herein, we propose a regioselective synthetic strategy that employs 2,1-BN-naphthalene derivatives, wherein selective activation of N-H and C-H bonds is achieved in conjunction with -halogenated phenylboronic acids.

The precise modulation of the lifetime and the responsive properties of room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is essential for realizing its multifunctional applications. Herein, a facile strategy is presented to achieve a series of cellulose benzoate esters (CBE-X, X = H/CH/OH/NH) with lifetime-tunable RTP through substituent engineering. Enhancing the electron-donating ability of CBE-X effectively modulates the HOMO-LUMO gap, exciton energy, spin-orbit coupling, and interaction between cellulose chains, thereby enabling control over the RTP lifetime.

Ultralong organic afterglow materials are being actively explored as attractive candidates for a wide range of applications such as data storage, security inks, emergency lighting, etc., due to their unique long-lived excited state properties and inherent advantages of low cost, appreciable functionality and ease of preparation. In the last three years, much effort has been devoted to achieving efficient ultralong afterglow from organic small molecules, which possess controllable intermolecular interactions and defined energy levels, making them a good platform to suppress the non-radiative decays, hence stabilizing the excitons for efficient afterglow emissions at room temperature.
