Abstract
Organic room-temperature phosphorescence, a spin-forbidden radiative process, has emerged as an interesting but rare phenomenon with multiple potential applications in optoelectronic devices, biosensing and anticounterfeiting. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with accessible nanoscale porosity and precisely engineered topology can offer unique benefits in the design of phosphorescent materials, but these are presently unexplored. Here, we report an approach of covalent doping, whereby a COF is synthesized by copolymerization of halogenated and unsubstituted phenyldiboronic acids, allowing for random distribution of functionalized units at varying ratios, yielding highly phosphorescent COFs. Such controlled halogen doping enhances the intersystem crossing while minimizing triplet-triplet annihilation by diluting the phosphors. The rigidity of the COF suppresses vibrational relaxation and allows a high phosphorescence quantum yield (ΦPhos ≤ 29%) at room temperature. The permanent porosity of the COFs and the combination of the singlet and triplet emitting channels enable a highly efficient COF-based oxygen sensor, with an ultra-wide dynamic detection range (~103-10-5 torr of partial oxygen pressure).

Synthesis and Field-Effect Transistor Application of π-Extended Lactam-Fused Conjugated Oligomers obtained by Tandem Direct Arylation. Chemistry 2018; 24:14137-14145.

Abstract
Five π-extended lactam-fused conjugated oligomers (5FO, 5FS, 4FPO, 4FPS, and R-4FPO) were synthesized by the tandem direct arylation. The intermolecular oxidative direct arylation was applied in the second step. These conjugated oligomers had fine-tuned FMO energies predictable by the theoretical calculation and excellent thermal stabilities. 4FPO and 4FPS bearing tetrafluoropyridine exhibited lower LUMO energy levels (-3.20 eV and -3.39 eV, respectively) compared with others. Based on the X-ray crystallography, 4FPO was found to have a herringbone crystal packing and a considerably large electron transfer integral value (137 meV). 4FPO-based bottom-gate, bottom-contact FET device demonstrated an electron mobility of 5.2×10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 as a result of an edge-on alignment on the SiO2 substrate.
