The effects of a heavy-atom salt on the room-temperature solid-matrix luminescence properties of the (±)- trans-7,8-dihydroxy- anti-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[ a]pyrene-DNA adducts [(±)- anti-BPDE-DNA adducts] and benzo[ a]pyrene- r-7, t-8,9, c-10-tetrahydrotetrol (tetrol I-1) on several solid matrices were investigated. TlNO3 was found to be very effective in enhancing the room-temperature phosphorescence of the (±)- anti-BPDE-DNA adducts and tetrol I-1. However, the room-temperature fluorescence signals were quenched from the (±)- anti-BPDE-DNA adducts and tetrol I-1 on the solid matrices with the heavy-atom salt. It was found that 1% α-cyclodextrin/TlNO3, 10% trehalose/TlNO3, and 30% TlNO3/sodium acetate (NaOAc) yielded very strong RTP signals from the (±)- anti-BPDE-DNA adducts. The greatest enhancement of the RTP intensities from the (±)- anti-BPDE-DNA adducts was achieved with 30% TlNO3/NaOAc. In addition, a very low limit of detection (0.14 fmole/mg) for tetrol I-1 was acquired with 30% TlNO3/NaOAc. With its tremendous enhancement of RTP signals from the adducts and tetrol I-1 and the sub-femtomole limit of detection obtained for tetrol I-1, 30% TlNO3/NaOAc is ideal for the characterization and analysis of DNA adducts and their tetrol products.

<div>Persistent room-temperature phosphorescence (p-RTP) from pure organics is attractive </div><div>due to its fundamental importance and potential applications in molecular imaging, </div><div>sensing, encryption, anticounterfeiting, etc.1-4 Recently, efforts have been also made in </div><div>obtaining color-tunable p-RTP in aromatic phosphors5 and nonconjugated polymers6,7. </div><div>The origin of color-tunable p-RTP and the rational design of such luminogens, </div><div>particularly those with explicit structure and molecular packing, remain challenging. </div><div>Noteworthily, nonconventional luminophores without significant conjugations generally </div><div>possess excitation-dependent photoluminescence (PL) because of the coexistence of </div><div>diverse clustered chromophores6,8, which strongly implicates the possibility to achieve </div><div>color-tunable p-RTP from their molecular crystals assisted by effective intermolecular </div><div>interactions. Here, inspirited by the highly stable double-helix structure and multiple </div><div>hydrogen bonds in DNA, we reported a series of nonconventional luminophores based on </div><div>hydantoin (HA), which demonstrate excitation-dependent PL and color-tunable p-RTP </div><div>from sky-blue to yellowish-green, accompanying unprecedentedly high PL and p-RTP </div><div>efficiencies of up to 87.5% and 21.8%, respectively.

Such robust, </div><div>color-tunable and highly efficient p-RTP render the luminophores promising for varying </div><div>applications. These findings provide mechanism insights into the origin of color-tunable </div><div>p-RTP, and surely advance the exploitation of efficient nonconventional luminophores.</div>

Pure organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and luminescence from nonconventional luminophores have gained increasing attention. However, it remains challenging to achieve efficient RTP from unorthodox luminophores, on account of the unsophisticated understanding of the emission mechanism. Here we propose a strategy to realize efficient RTP in nonconventional luminophores through incorporation of lone pairs together with clustering and effective electronic interactions. The former promotes spin-orbit coupling and boost the consequent intersystem crossing, whereas the latter narrows energy gaps and stabilizes the triplets, thus synergistically affording remarkable RTP. Experimental and theoretical results of urea and its derivatives verify the design rationale. Remarkably, RTP from thiourea solids with unprecedentedly high efficiency of up to 24.5% is obtained. Further control experiments testify the crucial role of through-space delocalization on the emission. These results would spur the future fabrication of nonconventional phosphors, and moreover should advance understanding of the underlying emission mechanism.<br>
