Ultralong Organic Room-Temperature Phosphorescence of Tetraphenylene via Lactose Functionalization and Chromophore Isolation

Key Points

• To explore ways to achieve ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence in purely organic materials using tetraphenylene.
• Functionalizing tetraphenylene with lactose
• Isolating chromophores
• Testing phosphorescence efficiency and duration
• Demonstrated unprecedented room-temperature phosphorescence performance
• Achieved ultralong phosphorescence emission times
• Observed that functionalization improved phosphorescent properties
