Abstract
Organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and afterglow materials hold great potential for various applications, but there remain inherent trade-offs between the afterglow efficiency and the lifetime. Here, we propose a dual-mechanism design strategy, leveraging the RTP or thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) mechanism for a high afterglow efficiency and the organic long-persistent luminescence (OLPL) mechanism for a prolonged afterglow duration. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)-type difluoroboron β-diketonate molecules with a large S1 dipole moment are doped as the luminescent component into the organic matrix with a large dipole moment, and a series of TADF-type afterglow materials can be achieved with an afterglow efficiency of up to 88.7% and an afterglow lifetime of 200 ms. To prolong the afterglow duration, an electron donor is introduced as the third component to generate traps and facilitate charge separation. The obtained materials exhibit a dual afterglow mechanism, first exhibiting a TADF/RTP afterglow with an afterglow efficiency of up to 50.9%, followed by an hours-long OLPL afterglow emission with an afterglow efficiency of up to 13.1%. Further investigations reveal that an appropriate heavy-atom effect can facilitate the intersystem crossing process, which can promote the charge separation process and thus improve the OLPL afterglow performance. Additionally, rare-earth upconversion materials are introduced into OLPL materials to enable their near-infrared excitation properties, showcasing their potential applications in bioimaging.

Abstract
The photophysical consequences of replacing the nitrogen heteroatom in phenothiazine with methylene are investigated for both solutions and crystalline solids. We analysed the excited state dynamics of four xanthene derivatives and observed an anomalous fluorescence from an energy level higher than the S1 state with lifetimes between 2.8 ns and 5.8 ns in solution and as solids. Additionally, the solid-state xanthene derivatives exhibited long-lived emission consistent with a triplet excited state, displaying millisecond lifetimes that ranged from 0.1 ms to 3.4 ms at ambient temperature in air. Our findings were supported by optical studies, crystallographic structural analyses, and DFT computations, which corroborated the photophysical measurements. It was concluded that the presence of the nitrogen atom in phenothiazine is crucial for achieving ultra-long emission lifetimes and that these results contribute to a deeper understanding of excited state dynamics which have potential implications for applications, such as display technologies, anticounterfeiting technologies, and sensors.

Abstract
This study exploits the polymorphism and multi-component crystal formation of γ-amino butanoic acid (GABA) and its pharmaceutically active derivative, gabapentin. Two polymorphs of GABA and both polymorphs of gabapentin are structurally revisited, together with gabapentin monohydrate. Hereby, GABA form II is only accessible under special conditions using additives, whereas gabapentin converts to the monohydrate even in the presence of trace amounts of water. Different accessibilities and phase stabilities of these phases are still not fully clarified. Thus, indicators of phase stability are discussed involving intermolecular interactions, molecular conformations, and crystallization environment. Calculated lattice energy differences for polymorphs reveal their similar stability. Quantification of the hydrogen bond strengths with the atoms-in-molecules (AIM) model in conjunction with non-covalent interaction (NCI) plots also shows similar hydrogen bond binding energy values for all polymorphs. We demonstrate that differences in the interacting modes, in an interplay with the intermolecular repulsion, allow the formation of the desired phase under different crystallization environments. Salts and co-crystals of GABA and gabapentin with fumaric as well as succinic acid further serve as models to highlight how strongly HBs act as the motif-directing force in the solid-phase GABA-analogs. Six novel multi-component entities were synthesized, and structural and computational analysis was performed: GABA fumarate (2:1); two gabapentin fumarates (2:1) and (1:1); two GABA succinates (2:1) and (1:1); and a gabapentin:succinic acid co-crystal. Energetically highly attractive carboxyl/carboxylate interaction overcomes other factors and dominates the multi-component phase formation. Decisive commonalities in the crystallization behavior of zwitterionic GABA-derivatives are discussed, which show how they can and should be understood as a whole for possible related future products.

Abstract
It is well-known that benzophenone has a short phosphorescence lifetime of around 1 ms even at 77 K. Here we report a benzophenone-containing emitter with an unprecedented long phosphorescence lifetime of 1.8 s under ambient conditions, which can be attributed to its T1 state of localized excitation nature as revealed by detailed studies.

Abstract
Employing long-lived luminescent materials to design a chemical sensing platform can eliminate real-time excitation and background fluorescence. However, the realization of long-lived emissions in aqueous media was limited to transition-metal complexes, doped quantum dots, organic crystals, and inorganic persistent phosphors, which suffer from the drawbacks of large size, expensive elements, and poor dispersibility. In this work, phosphorescent carbon dots (CDs) were covalently immobilized in a silica matrix (CDs@SiO2) to achieve afterglow emission in an aqueous dispersion. CDs@SiO2 with long lifetime (∼1.6 s) was utilized as an energy donor to fabricate nonradiative energy transfer systems with various organic dyes through the surface micelle self-assembly method. Benefiting from the high energy transfer efficiency between CDs@SiO2 and organic dyes, multicolor afterglow emissions were successfully obtained in aqueous media. As a proof of concept, a ratiometric phosphorescent probe using CDs@SiO2 as a donor and Hg2+-responsive rhodamine derivative as an acceptor was designed. Hg2+ triggered the energy transfer process between the donor-acceptor pair, leading to the sensitive detection of Hg2+ ions. The work presented here provides opportunities to develop chemical sensors with low background interferences and easily recognizable signals.

Abstract
Organic ultralong room temperature phosphorescence (RTP), or organic afterglow, is a unique phenomenon, gaining widespread attention due to its far-reaching application potential and fundamental interest. Here, two laterally expanded 9,10-dimesityl-dihydro-9,10-diboraanthracene (DBA) derivatives are demonstrated as excellent afterglow materials for red and blue-green light emission, which is traced back to persistent thermally activated delayed fluorescence and RTP. The lateral substitution of polycyclic DBA scaffold, together with weak transversal electron-donating mesityl groups, ensures the optimal molecular properties for (reverse) intersystem crossing and long-lived triplet states in a rigid poly(methyl methacrylate) matrix. The achieved afterglow emission quantum yields of up to 3 % and 15 %, afterglow lifetimes up to 0.8 s and 3.2 s and afterglow durations up to 5 s and 25 s (for red and blue-green emitters, respectively) are attributed to the properties of single molecules.

Abstract
Ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) in pure organic molecular crystals has attracted a lot of interest recently. There is much debate on the emission mechanism of this UOP. Two recent experimental works published in Nat. Photonics 2019, 13, 406-411 and Nat. Mater. 2021, 20, 175-180 attribute UOP in the 2,4,6-trimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (TMOT) crystals and the carbazole crystals to H-aggregation of the TMOT molecules or the formation of charge-transfer excitons between the carbazole and impurity molecules. Our first-principles many-body Green's function theory calculations show that the lowest triplet states of these two crystals are in fact the localized defect states originating from the twisted TMOT molecules and the impurities, respectively. Energies of the H-aggregation-induced exciton and the charge-transfer exciton are too high to account for UOP. UOP should be mainly due to the little orbital overlap between the localized defect state and the delocalized band edges of the crystal. Strong intermolecular interactions suppress nonradiative decay of the triplet exciton localized on the defect.

Abstract
As a type of room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) material, carbon dots (CDs) always show short lifetime and low phosphorescence efficiency. To counter these disadvantages, several strategies, such as embedding in rigid matrix, introducing of heteroatom, crosslink-enhanced emission, etc., are well developed. Consequently, lots of CDs-based RTP materials are obtained. Doping of CDs into various matrix is the dominant method for preparation of long-lived CDs-based RTP materials so far. The desired CDs@matrix composites always display outstanding RTP performances. Meanwhile, matrix-free CDs and carbonized polymer dots-based RTP materials are also widely developed. Amounts of CDs possessing ultra-long lived, multiple colored, and dynamic RTP emission are successfully obtained. Herein, the recent progress achieved in CDs-based RTP materials as well as the corresponding efficient strategies and emission mechanisms are summarized and reviewed in detail. Due to CDs-based RTP materials possess excellent chemical stability, photostability and low biological toxicity, they exhibit great application potential in the fields of anti-counterfeiting, data encryption, and biological monitoring. The application of the CDs-based RTP materials is also introduced in this review. As a promising functional material, development of long wavelength RTP emitting CDs with long lifetime is still challengeable, especially for the red and near-infrared emitting RTP materials.

Abstract
Although room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) organic materials are a widely-studied topic especially popular in recent decades, long-lived RTP able to fulfil broad time-resolved application requirements reliably, are still rare. Polymeric materials doped with phosphorescent chromophores generally feature high productivity and diverse applications, compared with their crystalline counterparts. This study proves that pure polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) may even outperform chromophores containing hetero- or heavy-atoms. Full-color (blue, green, orange and red) polymer-PAHs with lifetimes >5000 ms under ambient conditions are constructed, which provide impressive values compared to the widely reported polymer-based RTP materials in the respective color regions. The polymer-PAHs could be fabricated on a large-scale using various methods (solution, melt and in situ polymerization), be processed into diverse forms (writing ink, fibers, films, and complex 3D architectures), and be used in a range of applications (anti-counterfeiting, information storage, and oxygen sensors). Plus their environmental (aqueous) stability makes the polymer-PAHs a promising option to expand the portfolio of organic RTPs.

Abstract
A novel class of organic units (N-1 and N-2) and their derivatives (PNNA-1 and PNNA-2) with excellent property of ultralong organic room temperature phosphorescence (UORTP) is reported. In this work, N-1, N-2, and their derivatives function as the guests, while organic powders (PNCz, BBP, DBT) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) serve as the host matrixes. Amazingly, the color of phosphorescence can be tuned in different states or by varying the host matrixes. At 77 K, all molecules show green afterglow in the monomer state but yellow afterglow in the aggregated state because strong intermolecular interactions exist in the self-aggregate and induce a redshift of the afterglow. In particular, PNNA-1 and PNNA-2 demonstrate distinctive photoactivated green UORTP in the PMMA film owing to the generation of their cation radicals. Whereas the PNNA-1@PNCz and PNNA-2@PNCz doping powders give out yellow UORTP, showing matrix-controlled color-tunable UORTP. In PNCz, the cation radicals of PNNA-1 and PNNA-2 can stay stably and form strong intermolecular interactions with PNCz, leading to a redshift of ultralong phosphorescence.

Abstract
Triarylphosphine-based pure organic long persistent luminescence materials are rarely investigated because of their poor stability and low photoluminescence quantum yield. Herein, we demonstrate that the introduction of a methoxy group (TPP-o-3OMe) at the ortho position of triphenylphosphine (TPP) can essentially promote the n → π* transition and promote intersystem crossing to generate more triplet excitons. Simultaneously, generating abundant intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds to stable excited triplet excitons is beneficial, thereby causing high-efficiency phosphorescence emission (τp = 394.1 ms; Φp = 9.28%). Interestingly, it shows a good acid response to protonic acids and can often be cycled many times under the heating or ammonia fumigation conditions. This research provides a new idea for enriching the types of pure organic room-temperature phosphorescent materials, widening their applications in the fields of anticounterfeiting and smart response, and promotes the further development of this field.

Abstract
An afterglow is beneficial as an emission signal in the field of displays and imaging probes. Here, boronic acid-appended and spirolactam ring-containing rhodamine dye 1 was synthesized and grafted onto the surface of room-temperature phosphorescence-active boronate nanoparticles (BPs), composed of polymeric 3-benzo-2,4,8,10-tetraoxa-3,9-diboraspiro[5.5]undecane. The resultant ensemble, 1@BP, exhibited a greenish afterglow. However, the addition of Al3+ into the dispersion solution with 1@BP led to a change in the afterglow to grass green as a result of Förster-type energy transfer from the phosphorescent BP to the Al3+ -interacting rhodamine dye 1 on the surface. Based on the ratio of the two emission intensities, a linear response in the concentration range of 3.8-15.2 μM was observed, with a detection limit of 4.2 μM for Al3+ . A metal ion-dependent discernable color in afterglow was observed on a 1@BP-coated filter paper, which would be useful for not only film-based afterglow chemosensors but also encryption application.

Abstract
The development of high-contrast stimulus-responsive materials with excited triplet emission is of great significance for anti-counterfeiting, sensor and memory applications, but remains a challenge. Here, we report a strategy for the rational design of stimulus-responsive phenothiazine derivatives with triplet-related dual emissions and high-contrast mechanochromism guided by Polymorph Prediction. The designed phenothiazine derivatives have the characters of simple structures, a facile synthetic procedure, and a good crystalline nature. We found that the crystals of those derivatives with the potential to form both quasi-axial (ax) and quasi-equatorial (eq) conformations could undergo conformation transition and show significant emission difference (Δλem >100 nm) under mechanical force. Meanwhile, all these phenothiazine derivatives exhibit aggregation-induced emission and emit room-temperature phosphorescence or thermally activated delayed fluorescence. The significant luminescent change of these materials under different stimuli gives them promise for applications in encryption and anti-counterfeiting.

Abstract
Room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) emitters with ultralong lifetimes are attracting more and more attention for their wide applications. However, it is still a big challenge to achieve persistent organic afterglow because of the undefined relationship between molecular structures and RTP effect. Herein, diphenylamine (DPA) as a commonly used building block is selected as the molecular skeleton. Through incorporation of various alkyl moieties by ortho-substitution in different numbers and positions, RTP lifetimes can increase from 129 to 661 ms with the subtle adjustment of molecular conformations. It is summarized that the deviation angle (θ) of phenyl units in the DPA skeleton from the ideal p-π conjugated plane can act as the key parameter determining RTP lifetime, and the larger the θ values, the longer the RTP lifetimes. Furthermore, this result has been successfully applied as the universal principle to explain the RTP properties of various organic luminogens with DPA blocks and similar structures.

Abstract
The first carbon dot (CD)-based organic long persistent luminescence (OLPL) system exhibiting more than 1 h of duration was developed. In contrast to the established OLPL systems, herein, the reported CDs-based system (named m-CDs@CA) can be facilely and effectively fabricated using a household microwave oven, and more impressively, its LPL can be observed under ambient conditions and even in aqueous media. XRD and TEM characterizations, afterglow decay, time-resolved spectroscopy, and ESR analysis were performed, showing the successful composition of CDs and CA, the formation of exciplexes and long-lived charged-separated states. Further studies suggest that the production of covalent bonds between CA and CDs plays pivotal roles in activating LPL and preventing its quenching from oxygen and water. To the best of our knowledge, this is a very rare example of an OLPL system that exhibits hour-level afterglow under ambient conditions. Finally, applications of m-CDs@CA in glow-in-the-dark paints for emergency signs and multicolored luminous pearls were preliminarily demonstrated. This work may provide new insights for the development of rare-earth-free and robust OLPL materials.

Herein we report a vivid example of this, with luminescence conversion from thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) to ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (URTP) via a facile substituent effect on a rigid benzothiazino phenothiazine tetraoxide (BTPO) core. Pristine BTPO with multiple heteroatoms shows obvious intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) excited states with small exchange energy, featuring TADF. Via delicately functionalizing the BTPO core with peripheral moieties, the excited states of the BTPO derivatives become a hybridized local and charge transfer (HLCT) state in the S1 state and a local excitation (LE) dominated HLCT state in the T1 state, with enlarged energy bandgaps. Upon dispersion in a polymer matrix, the BTPO derivatives exhibit a persistent bright green afterglow with long lifetimes of up to 822 ms and decent quantum yields of up to 11.6%.

Abstract
Designing a luminophore for application both in solution and in the solid state is a highly challenging task given the distinct nature of intermolecular interactions in these phases. In this context, we demonstrate that self-assembly of non-emissive charged pyridinium luminophores enables luminescence in solutions through a mechanism that is characteristic for the crystal state. Specifically, protonation of pyridine luminophore subunits in a solution promotes oligomer formation through intermolecular π+ -π interactions, leading to an intermolecular charge-transfer type luminescence. The luminescence turn-on by protonation is utilized for a highly efficient solution-state luminescent sensing of hydrogen chloride and sulfonic acids (TfOH, TsOH and MsOH) with detection limits spanning the range from 0.06 to 0.33 ppm. The protonation followed by self-assembly results in a bathochromic shift of the emission from 420 nm to 550 nm.

Abstract
Purely aromatic hydrocarbon materials with ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) were reported recently, but which is universally recognized as unobservable. To reveal the inherent luminescent mechanism, two compounds, i.e., PT with a faint RTP and HD with strong RTP featured by nonplanar geometry, were chosen as a prototype to study their excited-state electronic structures by using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics (QM/MM) model. It is demonstrated that the nonplanar ethylene brides can offer σ-electron to strengthen spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between singlet and triplet excited states, which can not only promote intersystem crossing (ISC) of S1→Tn to increase the population of triplet excitons, but also accelerate the radiative decay rate of T1→S0, and thus improving RTP. Impressively, the nonradiative decay rate only has a small increase, owing to the synergistic effect between the increase of SOC and the reduction of reorganization energy of T1→S0 caused by the restricted torsional motions of aromatic rings. Therefore, a bright and long-lived RTP was obtained in aromatic hydrocarbon materials with twisted structure. This work provided a new insight into the ultralong RTP in pure organic materials.

Abstract
We report a study of photoluminescent properties of 4-bromo-7-(3-pyridylamino)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (Py-btd) and its novel Lewis adducts: (PyH-btd)2(ZnCl4) and [Cu2Cl2(Py-btd)2{PPO}2]·2C7H8 (PPO = tetraphenyldiphosphine monoxide), whose crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. Py-btd exhibits a lifetime of 9 microseconds indicating its phosphorescent nature, which is rare for purely organic compounds. This phenomenon arises from the heavy atom effect: the presence of a bromine atom in Py-btd promotes mixing of the singlet and triplet states to allow efficient singlet-to-triplet intersystem crossing. The Lewis adducts also feature a microsecond lifetime while emitting in a higher energy range than free Py-btd, which opens up the possibility to color-tune luminescence of benzothiadiazole derivatives.

Abstract
Dual-fluorescent-phosphorescent compounds have attracted increasing attention in various fields, such as bio-imaging, data protection/encryption, ratiometric luminescence sensing, and white-light emission. Conventional dual-emissive compounds contain a phosphorescent organometallic complex of a precious metal, such as iridium or platinum. However, the use of precious metals in organic materials has several drawbacks. This Minireview focuses on precious-metal-free organic light-emitting materials that exhibit dual fluorescence and phosphorescence emission in the solid state at room temperature to produce bimodal steady-state emission spectra. The dual emitters presented herein are categorized into the following six compound classes: (1) difluoroboron diaroylmethanes, (2) diarylketones, (3) diarylsulfones, (4) triazines and pyrimidines, (5) fused phenazines, and (6) N-arylcarbazoles.

Abstract
An innovative transformation of organic luminescent materials in recent years has realised the exciting research area of ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence. Here the credit for the advancements goes to the rational design of new organic phosphors. The continuous effort in the area has yielded wide varieties of metal-free organic systems capable of extending the lifetime to several seconds under ambient conditions with high quantum yield and attractive afterglow properties. The various strategies adopted in the past decade to manipulate the fate of triplet excitons suggest a bright future for this class of materials. To analyze the underlying processes in detail, we have chosen high performing organic triplet emitters that utilized the best possible ways to achieve a lifetime above one second along with impressive quantum yield and afterglow properties. Such a case study describing different classes of metal-free organic phosphors and strategies adopted for the efficient management of triplet excitons will stimulate the development of better candidates for futuristic applications. This Perspective discusses the phosphorescence features of single- and multi-component crystalline assemblies, host-guest assemblies, polymers, and polymer-based systems under various classes of molecules. The various applications of the organic phosphors, along with future perspectives, are also highlighted.

Abstract
This article takes a look back over our research on the development of organic fluorophores that efficiently emit light in the solid state and precious-metal-free phosphors that emit light at room temperature. In particular, we place an emphasis on the prehistory of each project and the relationship between the established molecular designs. Our story starts from the serendipitous discovery of a luminophore with a single benzene core and follows the molecular design and characterization of 2,5-dipiperidyl-1,4-bis(acceptor-substituted ethenyl)benzenes that exhibit solid-state fluorescence with high-to-excellent quantum yields in the blue-to-red region. In addition, the design concepts, luminescence characteristics, and applications of eight novel classes of fluorophores are described, and the discovery, design, and luminescent properties of precious-metal-free compounds that show efficient room-temperature phosphorescence are presented.

Abstract
Organic room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials with persistent RTP (PRTP) have attracted huge interest in inks, bioimaging, and photodynamic therapy. However, the design principle to increase the lifetime of organic molecules is underdeveloped. Herein, we show donor(D4)-acceptor(A) molecules (TOEPh, TOCPh, TOMPh, TOF and TOPh) with similar orientation of donor rings in aggregates that cause a large number of noncovalent interactions. We observed that TOEPh, TOCPh, TOMPh and TOF showed PRTP, whereas TOPh showed only phosphorescence emission (ΦP = ∼11%) with no PRTP property at ambient conditions. The spectroscopic and single-crystal X-ray analyses confirm the molecular assembly via J-aggregation with a face-to-face orientation of the donor rings. The crystal structure analysis (TOEPh, TOCPh, TOMPh, TOF) reveals that moderate π···π interactions (3.706 to 4.065 Å) between the donor rings cause the enhancement of the phosphorescence lifetime (26 to 245 ms), whereas the short phosphorescence lifetime (12 ms) of TOPh was observed because of the absence of π···π interactions. We found that TOEPh shows a long lifetime (245 ms) as compared to other derivatives because of the presence of ethoxy (-OEt) groups that enables spin-orbit coupling caused by strong lone pair (O)···π interactions present in the molecule. Utilizing the PRTP feature of TOEPh and the fluorescence emission of TOPh, we have shown data security applications in poly(methyl methacrylate).

Abstract
The ability of carbon dots (CDs) to emit afterglow emission in addition to fluorescence in response to UV-to-visible excitation allows them to be a new class of luminescent materials. When compared with traditional organic or inorganic afterglow materials, CDs have a set of advantages, including small size, ease of synthesis, and absence of highly toxic metal ions. In addition, high dependence of their afterglow color output on temperature, excitation wavelength, and aggregation degrees adds remarkable flexibility in the creation of multimode luminescence of CDs without the need for changing their intrinsic attributes. These characteristics make CDs particularly attractive in the fields of sensing, anticounterfeiting, and data encryption. In this review, we first describe the general attributes of afterglow CDs and their fundamental afterglow mechanism. We then highlight recent strategic advances in the generation or activation of the afterglow luminescence of CDs. Considerable emphasis is placed on the summarization of their emergent afterglow properties in response to external stimulation. We further highlight the emerging applications of afterglow CDs on the basis of their unique optical features and present the key challenges needed to be addressed before the realization of their full practical utility.

Abstract
Organic long-persistent luminescence (OLPL) is one of the most promising methods for long-lived-emission applications. However, present room-temperature OLPL emitters are mainly based on a bimolecular exciplex system which usually needs an expensive small molecule such as 2,8-bis(diphenyl-phosphoryl)dibenzo[b,d]thiophene (PPT) as the acceptor. In this study, a new thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compound, 3-(4-(9H-carbazol-9-yl)phenyl)acenaphtho[1,2-b]pyrazine-8,9-dicarbonitrile (CzPhAP), is designed, which also shows OLPL in many well-known hosts such as PPT, 2,2',2″-(1,3,5-benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole) (TPBi), and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), without any exciplex formation, and its OLPL duration reaches more than 1 h at room temperature. Combining the low cost of PMMA manufacture and flexible designs of TADF molecules, pure organic, large-scale, color tunable, and low-cost room-temperature OLPL applications become possible. Moreover, it is found that the onset of the 77 K afterglow spectra from a TADF-emitter-doped film is not necessarily reliable for determining the lowest triplet state energy level. This is because in some TADF-emitter-doped films, optical excitation can generate charges (electron and holes) that can later recombine to form singlet excitons during the phosphorescence spectrum measurement. The spectrum taken in the phosphorescence time window at low temperature may consequently consist of both singlet and triplet emission.

Abstract
The smart utilization of photons is paid global attention from the viewpoint of renewable energy and information technology. However, it is still impossible to store photons as batteries and condensers do for electrons. All the present technologies utilize (the energy of) photons in situ, such as solar panels, or in spontaneous relaxation processes, such as photoluminescence. If we can store the energy of photons over an arbitrary period and utilize them on demand, not only we will make an innovative progress in energy management, but we will also be able to replace a part of electrons by photons in the information technology for more efficient performance. In this article, we review a prototype of such a material including the current status of related research as well as where we are heading for.

Abstract
Ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) has attracted increasing attention due to its potential applications in optoelectronics, bioelectronics, and security protection. However, achieving UOP with high quantum efficiency (QE) over 20 % is still full of challenges due to intersystem crossing (ISC) and fast non-radiative transitions in organic molecules. Here, we present a novel strategy to enhance the QE of UOP materials by modulating intramolecular halogen bonding via structural isomerism. The QE of CzS2Br reaches up to 52.10 %, which is the highest afterglow efficiency reported so far. The crucial reason for the extraordinary QE is intramolecular halogen bonding, which can not only effectively enhance ISC by promoting spin-orbit coupling, but also greatly confine motions of excited molecules to restrict non-radiative pathways. This work provides a reasonable strategy to develop highly efficient UOP materials for practical applications.

Abstract
Herein, we present a facile synthesis of three azide-functionalized fluorophores and their covalent attachment as triazoles in Huisgen-type cycloadditions with model alkynes. Besides two ortho- and para-bromo-substituted benzaldehydes, the azide functionalization of a fluorene-based structure will be presented. The copper(I)-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) of the so-synthesized azide-functionalized bromocarbaldehydes with terminal alkynes, exhibiting different degrees of steric demand, was performed in high efficiency. Finally, we investigated the photophysical properties of the azide-functionalized arenes and their covalently linked triazole derivatives to gain deeper insight towards the effect of these covalent linkers on the emission behavior.

Abstract
Here we describe the synthesis of a novel N,N'-bis(2,1,3-benzothiadiazol-4-yl)-1-phenylphosphanediamine (H2L) and its zinc (II) and copper (I) coordination compounds [Zn2L2]·nC7H8 (1·nC7H8), [Zn2(H2L)2Cl4]·nC7H8 (2·nC7H8), and [Cu(H2L)Cl]n·nTHF (3·THF). According to single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, H2L ligand and its deprotonated species exhibit different coordination modes. An interesting isomerism is observed for the complexes [Zn2(H2L)2Cl4] (2a and 2b) that differ by the arrangement of H2L. Both complexes possess internal cavities capable of incorporating toluene molecules. Upon toluene release, the geometry of 2b changes substantially, while that of 2a changes slightly. Due to the diverse structures, the compounds 1-3 reveal different photophysical properties. These results are discussed based on previously reported studies and DFT (density functional theory) calculations.
