Tunable organic pure dual-phosphorescence emissions based on pyromellitic diimide copolymer
摘要
Herein, organic pure room-temperature dual-phosphorescence (OPRDP) elastomers are prepared by radical copolymerization of pyromellitic diimide derivative (BrPMDI), 2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate, and acryloylated cyclodextrin (CD), exhibiting excellent resistance to water, acid, alkali, microbiome rich lake, and salt-rich seawater. By tuning a mass ratio of chromophore from 0.5% (BrPMDI-0.5) to 5% (BrPMDI-5) in elastomer, single-molecule BrPMDI gradually aggregates via π-03C0 stacking, leading to dual-phosphorescence emissions of green pure room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) at 500 nm (τ= 0.19 ms) and orange pure RTP at 580 nm (τ= 3.5 ms), respectively. Compared to the high ratio BrPMDI-5, CD cross-linking inducing the low ratio BrPMDI-0.5 to form a denser polymer not only enhances stretchable mechanical strength, but also promotes phosphorescence emission in water. As a result, bright green and orange phosphorescence from BrPMDI-0.5@CD and BrPMDI-5 elastomers can exist in different water environments, and are successfully applied in underwater anti-counterfeiting, providing a feasible pathway to construct underwater OPRDP materials.
