Abstract
Correction for ‘Bright persistent luminescence from pure organic molecules through a moderate intermolecular heavy atom effect’ by Pengchong Xue et al., Chem. Sci., 2016, DOI: 10.1039/c5sc03739e.
In the original paper, it was proposed that a series of carbazole derivatives with a bromine atom may emit strong persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in the crystal state. However, the authors later found that further purification of these carbazole derivatives led to the disappearance of the yellow persistent RTP. Therefore, a small amount of impurities appears to be responsible for the long-wavelength RTP.
