Luminescence switching of a persistent room-temperature phosphorescent pure organic molecule in response to external stimuli

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jul 4;51(52):10381-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc03403e.

Abstract

4-(Carbazol-9-yl)benzaldehyde could emit yellow RTP, which could last for 3 s because of efficient intersystem crossing. Moreover, multicolor luminescent switches could be realized by simply applying a mechanical force stimulus.
