Abstract
Achieving high-efficiency solid state emission is essential for practical applications of organic luminescent materials. However, intermolecular interactions generally induce formation of multimeric aggregate excited states with deficient emissive ability, making it extremely challenging to enhance emission in aggregated states. Here we demonstrate a novel strategy of continuously regulating multimeric excitation constituents with a high-pressure technique successfully enhancing the emission in a representative organic charge-transfer material, Laurdan (6-lauroyl-N,N-dimethyl-2-naphthylamine). The Laurdan crystal exhibits distinct emission enhancement up to 4.1 GPa accompanied by a shift in the emission color from blue to cyan. Under compression, the π-π interplanar distance in Laurdan multimers is reduced, and intermolecular wave function diffusion is demonstrated to be improved simultaneously, which results in local excitation promotion and thus enhanced emission. Our findings not only provide new insights into multimeric excited state emission modulation but also pave the way for the further design of high-performance aggregated luminophores.
