A novel host lattice disodium calcium ditin(IV) trigermanium oxide Na2CaSn2Ge3O12 was utilized for synthesizing long-persistent phosphorescence materials for the first time. Reddish orange long-persistent phosphorescence was observed in Na2CaSn2Ge3O12:Sm(3+) phosphors with persistence time more than 4.8 h. The phosphors were synthesized by a conventional solid-state reaction pathway in air atmosphere. A predominant cubic phase of Na2CaSn2Ge3O12 was observed in all XRD patterns. Photoluminescence measurements indicated that the emission spectrum was composed of the peaks located at 566 (the strongest), 605, 664, and 724 nm. The results of the decay curves in terms of a biexponential model suggest that different defects appear in the crystal lattice. The defects acting as traps were investigated by thermoluminescence, which demonstrated that doping Sm(3+) ions into the Na2CaSn2Ge3O12 host has made the trap types abundant. Furthermore, the origin of the long-persistent phosphorescence has also been discussed. On the basis of the above results, Sm(3+)-doped Na2CaSn2Ge3O12 phosphors are considered to have potential practical applications.

Regulating strategies for long persistent luminescence (LPL) are always in high demand. Herein, a series of coordination polymers (CPs) (SUST-Z1-Z4) are fabricated using 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives involving different substituents (─H, ─CH, ─Cl, and ─Br) as ligands, respectively. Crystallographic data demonstrate that these CPs adopt alternating arrangements of cadmium halide chains and π-conjugated ligands.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with long persistent luminescence (LPL) have attracted extensive research attention due to their potential applications in information encryption, anticounterfeiting technology, and security logic. The strategic combinations of organic phosphor linkers and metal ions lead to tremendous frameworks, which could unveil many undiscovered properties of organics. Here, the synthesis and characterization of a three-dimensional MOF (Cd-MOF) is reported, which demonstrates enhanced blue photoluminescence and a phosphorescent lifetime of 124 ms as compared to the pristine linker (HL) under ambient conditions due to the scaffolding and heavy-atom effects of metal chains in the framework.

Amino acid-based biomolecular glasses represent an emerging material to meet the demand for sustainable development. However, most amino acids are difficult to vitrify due to their strong crystallization tendency, limiting further advancements of this field. In this study, we demonstrate that the introduction of counterions effectively suppresses crystallization, as hydrogen bonds within the system stabilize the disordered structures.

Visible-light-excited ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials hold significant potential for various practical applications. Red-shifted excitation wavelength can be achieved by introducing large π-conjugation structures into organic molecules, thereby increasing intermolecular interactions and coupling. However, generating visible-light-excited UOP from isolated molecules poses a great challenge.

The macrocyclic supramolecular assembly confinement effect not only induces or extends the fluorescence/phosphorescence luminescence behavior of guest molecules but has also been widely applied in the research fields of chemistry, biology, and materials. This review primarily describes recent advances in cyclodextrin (CD) supramolecular assembly confined luminescent materials. Taking advantage of their hydrophobic cavity, CDs and their derivatives effectively encapsulate guest molecules and special functional groups or further assemble and polymerize to restrict the motion of guest chromophores, inducing and enhancing the luminescence behavior and realizing intelligent stimulus-responsive luminescence depending on changes in temperature, light, redox reactions and solvent polarity, which are successfully applied in targeted cell imaging, sensing, information encryption, anti-counterfeiting and flexible electronic light-emitting devices.
