Abstract
Solvent-free organic liquids are well-known for their excellent luminescence features. Hence, the recent developments in this area have marked them as potential emitters with high quantum yield and enhanced processability. The support of an available liquid matrix enables doping to deliver hybrid liquids with intriguing luminescence features. In this direction, we report solvent-free liquid donor-acceptor pairs with exciplex emission and room temperature phosphorescence at very low acceptor loading. The underlying weak intermolecular interactions have been revealed by 2D NMR techniques and theoretical calculations. The formation of large-area thin films by exciplex and phosphorescent liquid hybrids will encourage the development of scalable lighting and display materials.

Abstract
Despite the recent advances in the field of thermofluorochromism, the fabrication of thermoresponsive multicolor-emissive materials in a simple, low-cost and versatile manner still remains a challenge. Herein we accomplish this goal by expanding the concept of matrix-induced thermofluorochromism, where a sudden two-state variation of dyes' emission is promoted by the solid-liquid transition of a surrounding phase change material (e.g., paraffins). We demonstrate that this behavior can be transferred to the nanoscale by the synthesis of dye-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles, different types of which can then be combined into a single platform to obtain multicolor thermofluorochromism using a single type of emitter. Because of the reduced dimensions of these particles, they can be utilized to prepare transparent nanocomposites and inkjet-printed patterns showing complex thermoresponsive luminescence signals and applications ranging from smart displays to thermal sensing and high-security anti-counterfeiting.
