Multifunctional luminogens with synergy of aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence, two-photon absorption and photocurrent generation†
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the aggregation-induced delayed fluorescence (AIDF) properties of three luminogens – TN, TA, and TP. Our comprehensive theoretical analysis reveals a significant reduction in the ΔEST in their aggregated or solid-state, activating TADF, on a ∼μs time-scale. Additionally, these luminogens demonstrate two-photon excited anti-Stokes photoluminescence emission and improved photocurrent generation, attributed to their strong charge transfer characteristics and longer singlet exciton lifetimes.
