基于三重态-三重态an灭(TTA)的上转换很有吸引力,因为它们易于调节的激发/发射波长,低激发功率密度和高上转换量子产率。对于TTA上转换,将三重态敏化剂和受体结合起来以收集辐射能,并通过三重态-三重态能量转移(TTET)和TTA工艺获得更高能量的发射。目前,三重态敏化剂仅限于磷光过渡金属络合物,因为它们的UV-vis吸收和T 1的调节激发态的能级很困难。在此,我们首次提出了基于硼二吡咯亚甲基(BODIPY)单一生色团的有机三重态敏化剂库。有机增敏剂在510-629 nm(ε高达180,000 M –1 cm –1)下表现出强烈的UV-vis吸收。长寿命的三线态激发态(τ Ť高达66.3微秒)在所述敏化剂的激发被填充,通过纳秒时间分辨瞬态差吸收光谱和DFT计算证明。与苝或1-氯-9,10-双(苯基乙炔基)蒽(1CBPEA)作为三重态受体,显著上变频(Φ UC对于溶液样品和聚合物薄膜,观察到高达6

IodoBodipy-styrylBodipy dyads triplet photosensitizers were prepared (B-1 and B-2) which contain acid-responsive moiety. Both compounds show broadband visible light absorption, due to the resonance energy transfer (RET) between the two different visible light-harvesting Bodipy units. The photophysical properties of the dyads were studied with steady-state and nanosecond time-resolved transient absorption spectroscopy. The production of triplet excited state is switched ON or OFF by protonation/deprotonation of the amino group in the dyads. In the neutral form, the excited state is short-lived (<10 ns) and no singlet oxygen (O-1(2)) photosensitizing was observed. Upon protonation, a long-lived triplet excited state was observed (tau(T) = 3.1 mu s) and the O-1(2) quantum yield (Phi(triangle)) is up to 73.8%. The energy levels of the components of the dyads were changed upon protonation and this energy level tuning exerts significant influence on the triplet state property of the dyad. Acid-activated shuffling of the localization of the triplet excited state between two components of a dyad was observed. Furthermore, we observed a rare example that a chromophore giving shorter absorption wavelength is acting as the singlet energy acceptor in RET. The experimental results were rationalized by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations.
