“…Long-lived organic room temperature phosphorescent (RTP) materials with afterglow have great potential applications in optoelectronic devices, 1–3 information security 4–6 and biological imaging, 7–9 due to their unique photophysical properties such as long lifetime, large Stokes shift, and high signal-to-noise ratio. 10 In recent years, significant efforts have been devoted to exploring pure organic RTP materials on account of their affordability, facile structural modification and high biocompatibility.…”
