Metal‐Free Organic Triplet Emitters with On–Off Switchable Excited State Intramolecular Proton Transfer
Abstract: Metal‐free organic triplet emitters are an emerging class of organic semiconducting material. Among them, molecules with tunable emission responsive to environmental stimuli have shown great potential in solid‐state lighting, sensors, and anti‐counterfeiting systems. Here, a novel excited‐state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) system is proposed showing the activation of thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) or room‐temperature phosphorescence (RTP) simultaneously from both keto and enol tautomers. The prototype ESIPT triplet emitters exhibit up to 50% delayed emission quantum yield. Their enol–keto tautomerization can be switched by controlling the matrix acidity in doped polymer films. Taking advantage of these unique properties, “on‐off” switchable triplet emission systems controlled by acid vapor annealing, as well as photopatterning systems capable of generating facile and high‐contrast emissive patterns, are devised.
