Photo-polymerization-induced tightened domain enhancing the room-temperature phosphorescence emission†
Abstract
Effectively enhancing the room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emission of pure organic phosphors is the goal that scholars continue to pursue. In this study, as a novel strategy, diacetylene monomers were introduced into a pure organic molecule, 2-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)ethanol (CZEO). Upon UV irradiation, the formed polydiacetylene (PDA) backbones caused a significant enhancement in the RTP emission. RTP emission continuously enhanced with the time UV irradiation. In addition, the synergistic enhancement with the help of halogen bonds was realized by introducing Br atoms into the CZEO unit.
