Multicolor swap shop: A facile doping approach for color-tunable organic phosphorescence materials is enabled through hosts that not only restrict the molecular motion and avoid the triplet quenching from the oxygen, but also interact with the guests for the realization of phosphorescence. Color tunable, temperature dependent, and time-resolved anti-counterfeiting techniques are achieved by the printable and writable materials.
Abstract
Organic materials with long-lived, color-tunable phosphorescence are potentially useful for optical recording, anti-counterfeiting, and bioimaging. Herein, we develop a series of novel host–guest organic phosphors allowing dynamic color tuning from the cyan (502 nm) to orange red (608 nm). Guest materials are employed to tune the phosphorescent color, while the host materials interact with the guest to activate the phosphorescence emission. These organic phosphors have an ultra-long lifetime of 0.7 s and a maximum phosphorescence efficiency of 18.2 %. Although color-tunable inks have already been developed using visible dyes, solution-processed security inks that are temperature dependent and display time-resolved printed images are unprecedented. This strategy can provide a crucial step towards the next-generation of security technologies for information handling.
