Abstract Supramolecular liquid crystals (SLCs) are attractive materials for fabricating devices with new optoelectronic functions. Conventional SLCs made from hydrogen‐bonded mesogens. However, these mesogens suffer high melting points, and the types of formable aggregates limited owing to directionality hydrogen bonding. Therefore, fabricate non‐hydrogen‐bonded SLCs, we hypothesized that introduction tertiary amide groups into calamitic molecules would be advantageous because they have an L‐shaped structure N ‐ or C ‐alkyl side chains not aligned along long axis flexibility undergo cis–trans isomerization. In this study, developed a novel SLC by assembling dimer composed (phenyltolanes) amides at their ends. These exhibited smectic B phase. The phase transition temperature crystal was low despite π‐conjugated core. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction variable‐temperature Fourier‐transform infrared measurements revealed formation weak intermolecular interactions, is, molecular recognition molecules, mobility alkyl attached driven isomerization in Thus, contributed enormously lower clearing points SLC. method can used only develop but also soft matter controlled properties incorporating as impart desired functionalities.

Multiresonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters are promising candidates for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with high color quality. However, in most cases, noble metal–containing phosphors required as sensitizers MR-TADF to improve their electroluminescence (EL) performances, which may lead cost and environmental pollution. Herein, an efficient purely room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) material, 3,2-PIC-TXT, fast radiation is developed. It not only exhibits impressive EL performances emitter outstanding external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 33.2%, higher than that Ir(ppy) 3 (25.2%), but also functions remarkably a sensitizer green (BN2, tCzphB-Ph, tCzphB-Fl). The hyperfluorescence OLEDs using 3,2-PIC-TXT provide ultrahigh EQEs 40.9 43.8%, superior those based on (37.0 38.0%), along superb purity excellent operational stability. These the best devices RTP materials reported so far.

ABSTRACT Despite extensive investigations into photophysics at the molecular level, complex interplays between intermolecular interactions, hierarchical assembly, and photoluminescence properties remain a fundamental challenge in materials science, particularly concerning emergent phenomena aggregates. Herein, we construct different dimeric structures both solution aggregate states through cycloreversion upon photoirradiation from series of nonemissive phenanthrene cycloadducts, exhibiting state‐dependent photoactivatable luminescence. Specifically, excimer is due to its antiparallel cofacial structure. In contrast, dimer crystal exhibits nonclassical emission according cross‐stacked stacking within restriction lattice. Prominently, luminescent behavior uniquely accessible photocycloreversion cannot be achieved spontaneous crystallization their parent molecules. Moreover, nature these successfully demonstrated thin films, showcasing potential applications information encryption. This work expands possibilities for constructing new functional by photochemistry deepens our understanding dimer‐luminescence relationships states.
