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
Herein, we successfully developed a ring-fusion approach to extend the conjugation length of phenothiazines that were demonstrated to be efficient photocatalysts for visible-light-driven oxidative coupling reactions of amines under an air atmosphere.
