We discovered a novel fluorophore by incorporating a dimethylamino group (–NMe2) into the conformationally locked green fluorescent protein (GFP) scaffold. It exhibited a marked solvent-polarity-dependent fluorogenic behavior and can potentially find broad applications as an environment-polarity sensor in vitro and in vivo. The ultrafast femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) spectroscopy in combination with quantum calculations revealed the presence of a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state, which is formed by rotation of the –NMe2 group in the electronic excited state. In contrast to the bright fluorescent state (FS), the TICT state is dark and effectively quenches fluorescence upon formation. We employed a newly developed multivariable analysis approach to the FS lifetime in various solvents and showed that the FS → TICT reaction barrier is mainly modulated by H-bonding capability instead of viscosity of the solvent, accounting for the observed polarity dependence. These deep mechanistic insights are further corroborated by the dramatic loss of fluorogenicity for two similar GFP-derived chromophores in which the rotation of the –NMe2 group is inhibited by structural locking.

N-Substituted naphthalene diimides (NDIs) were explored as purely organic room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials based on the strategy of intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) mediation. A series of NDIs were designed and investigated for their luminescence properties. All emissive NDIs exhibited similar red RTP (emission range from ~600 to ~800 nm) in solid state media; the quantum yield (QY) of the obtained RTP relies heavily on the N-substitution. From poor to moderate to strong donor moieties, the QY increases but suddenly disappears. First-principle calculations reveal that a “sweet spot” for strong NDI RTP exists: while a suitable charge-transfer state can enhance RTP, a strong donor may cause total triplet quenching through the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) mechanism. Furthermore, combining NDI aggregation effects, we realized the reddest RTP ever reported for purely organic materials (Max emission = 675 nm, QY = 21.7%). Given the red emission, respectable QY and oxygen sensitive properties for some of the NDIs, they were tested as imaging agents for in vivo imaging studies.
