AbstractThe accurate thermosensing requires a minimum impact of autofluorescence and light scattering from the samples. In this study, we discovered that commercially available benzene‐1,4‐diboronic acid (BDBA) doped co‐crystals with trimethylolpropane (TMP) exhibit excellent thermochromic dual phosphorescence properties over a wide temperature range from −132 to 40 °C, despite its simple structure that does not have any donor‐acceptor linkage. The dual phosphorescence was consisted of monomeric benzene‐1,4‐diboronate (BDBA ester) and aggregation‐stabilized species. With an increase in temperature, the emission intensity from the monomeric state significantly decreased, whereas that originating from the aggregated state remained almost constant owing to the difference in their thermal stabilities. Further investigation revealed that molecular distortions in singlet excited states enable efficient intersystem crossing, causing efficient phosphorescence from the monomeric state of BDBA ester.
摘要准确的热感应需要将样品的自发荧光和光散射影响降至最低。在这项研究中,我们发现市售的掺杂了三羟甲基丙烷(TMP)的苯-1,4-二硼酸(BDBA)共晶体尽管结构简单,没有任何供体-受体连接,但在-132 至 40 ℃的宽温度范围内表现出优异的热致变色双磷光特性。双磷光由单体苯-1,4-二硼酸酯(BDBA 酯)和聚集稳定的物种组成。随着温度的升高,单体状态的发射强度明显降低,而聚集状态的发射强度几乎保持不变,这是因为它们的热稳定性不同。进一步的研究表明,单子激发态的分子畸变能够实现有效的系统间交叉,从而使 BDBA 酯的单体态产生有效的磷光。
