Achieving Persistent Room Temperature Phosphorescence and Remarkable Mechanochromism from Pure Organic Luminogens

Abstract

Persistent room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from pure organic luminogens can be rationally realized based on the crystallization-induced phosphorescence phenomenon and severe crystallization. A perfect crystal with dense molecular packing and effective inter­molecular interactions isolates the triplet excitons from quenching sites and significantly blocks the high-energy vibrational dissipation, thus yielding long-lasting RTP.
