Unravelling Mechanism of Crystallization-Induced Room Temperature Phosphorescence in Pure Organic Molecules from QM/MM calculations

摘要
Exploring the origin of the purely organic room temperature phosphorescence is of prime importance and challenge.~(1-7) Here we unveiled the effect of crystallization on the luminescent properties of organic molecules through the combined quantum and molecular mechanics CASPT2/AMBER. Taking terephthalic acid~4 as an example, we found that the electrostatic interaction not only induced an enhanced radiative chancel of T_1→S_0 through the dipole-allowed S_1 state but also hindered the nonradiative decay process of the emissive states upon crystallization, resulting in the observed RTP. From gas to crystal, the S_1 state is inverted as ~1(ππ*) from ~1(nπ*) state with hugely increased transition dipole moment, generating efficacious radiative pathways to T_1→S_0, and then leading to boosted RTP based on unchanged nonradiative decay of triplet states. Moreover, the nonradiative decay is blocked by the restriction of the high-frequency C=O stretching vibration rather than the conventional low-frequency aromatic rotation in crystal.
