Abstract
Ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials have roused considerable attention in the field of photonics and optoelectronics owing to the feature of long-lived emission lifetimes. However, to develop UOP materials with color-tunability is still a formidable challenge. Here, we report a class of UOP materials containing carbonyl, amino or amide groups, exhibiting color-tunable persistent luminescence ranging from blue (458 nm) to yellow-green (508 nm) under different UV wavelength excitation. Taken theoretical and experimental results together, we conclude that the excitation dependent color-tunable UOP emission is ascribed to multiple emission centers from single molecular and aggregated states in crystal. Given color-tunable UOP feature, these materials are used to successfully realize visual UV-light detection. This finding not only provides a strategy to design new organic phosphorescent molecules with colorful emission, but also extends the scope of the applications of purely organic phosphorescent materials.
