Double-Model Decay Strategy Integrating Persistent Photogenic Radicaloids with Dynamic Circularly Polarized Doublet Radiance and Triplet Afterglow.

Organic phosphors integrating circularly polarized persistent luminescence (CPPL) across the visible range are widespread for applications in optical information encryption, bioimaging, and 3D display, but the pursuit of color-tunable CPPL in single-component organics remains a formidable task. Herein, via in situ photoimplanting radical ion pairing into axial chiral crystals, we present and elucidate an unprecedented double-module decay strategy to achieve a colorful CPPL through a combination of stable triplet emission from neutral diphosphine and doublet radiance from photogenic radicals in an exclusive crystalline framework. Owing to the photoactivation-dependent doublet radiance component and an inherent triplet phosphorescence in the asymmetric environment, the CPL vision can be regulated by altering the photoactivation and observation time window, allowing colorful glow tuning from blue and orange to delayed green emission. Mechanism studies clearly reveal that this asymmetric electron migration environment and hybrid n -π* and π-π* instincts are responsible for the afterglow and radical radiance at ambient conditions. Moreover, we demonstrate the applications of colorful CPPL for displays and encryption via manipulation of both excitation and observation times.
