Abstract
AbstractOrganic ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), or organic afterglow, is a unique phenomenon, gaining widespread attention due to its far‐reaching application potential and fundamental interest. Here, two laterally expanded 9,10‐dimesityl‐dihydro‐9,10‐diboraanthracene (DBA) derivatives are demonstrated as excellent afterglow materials for red and blue‐green light emission, which is traced back to persistent thermally activated delayed fluorescence and RTP. The lateral substitution of polycyclic DBA scaffold, together with weak transversal electron‐donating mesityl groups, ensures the optimal molecular properties for (reverse) intersystem crossing and long‐lived triplet states in a rigid poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. The achieved afterglow emission quantum yields of up to 3 % and 15 %, afterglow lifetimes up to 0.8 s and 3.2 s and afterglow durations up to 5 s and 25 s (for red and blue‐green emitters, respectively) are attributed to the properties of single molecules.
