Journal ArticleDOI
Stabilizing triplet excited states for ultralong organic phosphorescence
Zhongfu An,Chao Zheng,Ye Tao,Runfeng Chen,Huifang Shi,Ting Chen,Zhixiang Wang,Huanhuan Li,Renren Deng,Xiaogang Liu,Wei Huang +10 more
TL;DR: A fundamental principle to design organic molecules with extended lifetimes of excited states is outlined, providing a major step forward in expanding the scope of organic phosphorescence applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colour-tunable ultra-long organic phosphorescence of a single-component molecular crystal
Long Gu,Huifang Shi,Lifang Bian,Mingxing Gu,Kun Ling,Xuan Wang,Huili Ma,Suzhi Cai,Wei-Hua Ning,Lishun Fu,He Wang,Shan Wang,Yaru Gao,Wei Yao,Fengwei Huo,Youtian Tao,Zhongfu An,Xiaogang Liu,Wei Huang,Wei Huang,Wei Huang +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a colour-tunable, ultra-long organic phosphorescence (UOP) can be tuned by varying the excitation wavelength, allowing dynamic colour tuning from the violet to the green part of the visible spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultralong Phosphorescence of Water‐Soluble Organic Nanoparticles for In Vivo Afterglow Imaging
TL;DR: This study reports the design principle, synthesis, and proof‐of‐concept application of organic semiconducting nanoparticles (OSNs) with ultralong phosphorescence for in vivo afterglow imaging and reveals a universal design principle to prolong the lifetime of phosphorescent molecules to the level that can be effective for molecular imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneously Enhancing Efficiency and Lifetime of Ultralong Organic Phosphorescence Materials by Molecular Self-Assembly.
Lifang Bian,Huifang Shi,Xuan Wang,Kun Ling,Huili Ma,Mengping Li,Zhichao Cheng,Chaoqun Ma,Suzhi Cai,Qi Wu,Nan Gan,Xiangfei Xu,Zhongfu An,Wei Huang,Wei Huang +14 more
TL;DR: The supermolecules designed synchronously achieve an ultralong emission lifetime of up to 1.91 s and a high phosphorescence quantum efficiency of 24.3% under ambient conditions, which is the best performance of UOP materials with simultaneous efficiency and lifetime enhancement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient and Long-Lived Room-Temperature Organic Phosphorescence: Theoretical Descriptors for Molecular Designs
TL;DR: In this study, the molecular descriptors (γ = α × β, β) can be employed to describe the RTP character of organic molecules and the large γ and β values are favorable for the strong and long-lived RTP in organic materials.
