Abstract:
The research of purely organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials has drawn great attention for their wide potential applications. Besides single-component and host-guest doping systems, the self-doping with same molecule but different conformations in one state is also a possible way to construct RTP materials, regardless of its rare investigation. In this work, twenty-four phenothiazine derivatives with two distinct molecular conformations were designed and their RTP behaviors in different states were systematically studied, with the aim to deeply understand the self-doping effect on the corresponding RTP property. While the phenothiazine derivatives with quasi-axial (ax) conformation presented better RTP performance in aggregated state, the quasi-equatorial (eq) ones were better in isolated state. Accordingly, the much promoted RTP performance was achieved in the stimulated self-doping state with ax-conformer as host and eq-one as guest, demonstrating the significant influence of self-doping on RTP effect.
