TL;DR: A delayed sensitization of the singlet state of organic dyes via phosphorescence energy transfer from organic phosphors is proposed as an alternative strategy to realize "afterglow fluorescence" and these afterglow fluorescent hybrids are highly solution-processable and show excellent air-stability with good quantum yields.

TL;DR: Structural rigidity and oxygen tolerance of the inorganic template along with controlled molecular organization via supramolecular scaffolding are envisaged to alleviate the unprecedented aqueous phase phosphorescence.

TL;DR: In this article, an air-stable triplet harvest from simple, heavy-atom substituted pyromellitic diimide derivatives in amorphous matrix and crystalline state is reported, where multiple intermolecular halogen bonding interactions among these phosphors, such as halogen-carbonyl and halogenπ resulted in the modulation of phosphorescence, cyan emission from monomeric state and orange-red emission from its aggregated state, to yield twin RTP emission.

TL;DR: This study, with detailed theoretical calculations and time-resolved emission experiments, enables new design insights into the triplet harvesting of cNDIs; an important family of molecules which has been, otherwise, extensively investigated for its n-type electronic character and tunable singlet fluorescence.
