Abstract

Comprehensive SummaryKasha's exciton model proposes that T1 energy levels of organic compounds are insensitive to molecular aggregation and microenvironment change because of negligible small transition dipole moments of T1 states. This model holds true in most organic systems till now. Here we report the fabrication of twisted organic phosphors with intramolecular charge transfer characters and flexible molecular structures. When doped into different organic matrices, the twisted phosphor adopts different conformation, exhibits distinct phosphorescence colors and T1 energy levels, which violates Kasha's exciton model in organic system. Given that the change of phosphorescence colors and maxima can be readily distinguished by human eyes and conventional instrument, the twisted phosphors would be exploited as a new type of molecular probe, which would exhibit potential application in optical sensing and stimuli‐responsive systems.
