Clustering and halogen effects enabled red/near-infrared room temperature phosphorescence from aliphatic cyclic imides
Abstract
Pure organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials become increasingly important but achieving red and near-infrared (NIR) RTP remains challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate that succinimide derived cyclic imides can emit RTP in the red and NIR spectral range with outstanding efficiencies of up to 9.2%.
