Metal-free ultralong organic phosphorescence (UOP) materials have attracted significant attention owing to their anomalous photophysical properties and potential applications in various fields. Here, three pyrimidine-based organic luminogens, 9-(pyrimidin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole, 9-(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole, and 9-(5-bromopyrimidin-2-yl)-9H-carbazole are designed and synthesized, which show efficient yellow UOP with the longest lifetimes up to 1.37 s and the highest absolute phosphorescence quantum yields up to 23.6% under ambient conditions. Theoretical calculations, crystal structures, and photophysical properties of these compounds reveal that intramolecular hydrogen bonding, intermolecular π-π interactions, and intermolecular electronic coupling are responsible for forming dimers and generating highly efficient UOP. Their efficacy as solid materials for data encryption is demonstrated.

The synthesis of crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) has in principle relied on reversible dynamic chemistry. A general method to synthesize irreversibly bonded COFs is urgently demanded for driving the COF chemistry to a new era. Here we report a universal two-step method for the straightforward synthesis of irreversibly amide-linked COF (AmCOF) membranes by autocatalytic interfacial polymerization (AIP).

Rolling circle amplification (RCA)-derived ultra-long DNA is highly attractive and versatile because of its diverse functionalities conferred by repeated DNA nanostructures. However, magnesium pyrophosphate (MgPPi) crystals, as byproducts of RCA, electrostatically interact with the DNA to form DNA microhybrids and hamper its broad bioapplications, as its large size is unfavorable for cellular uptake and decreases the density of functional DNA nanostructures. In this study, finely tuned synthesis strategies are developed to condense the microhybrids and replace non-functional MgPPi crystals with various functional metal nanostructures by reducing metal ions.

Ultralong room-temperature phosphorescent (URTP) materials have garnered significant attention in anti-counterfeiting, optoelectronic displays, and bio-imaging due to their unique optical properties. However, most URTP materials exhibit weak emission or are quenched in aqueous solutions. This study proposes a simple and effective strategy for preparing full-color aqueous URTP materials using a one-step microwave method.

Aqueous Zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs) are widely viewed as promising energy storage devices due to their high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, they encounter great challenges such as grievous polyiodides shuttle and sluggish iodine (I) redox reaction kinetics, thus undesirable cycling performance. Here a high-performance ZIB with an ultra-long lifespan is reported through the rational I cathode catalyst design.

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.
