In aerated aqueous solution, intense room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) of 1-bromonaphthalene (1-BrN) is observed with an host–guest inclusion complex composed of Triton X-100, 1-BrN, and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD). Triton X-100 is incorporated into the hydrophobic cavity of β-CD as the second guest molecule, and a 1:1:1 ternary complex is formed. This complex, with a polar head group, can be well distributed in aqueous solution, and stable RTP is obtained. Ethanol further enhances the RTP of the ternary complex, whereas 1-propanol and 1-butanol greatly attenuate RTP. Spectral analyses indicate that 1-BrN in the β-CD cavity is replaced by 1-propanol and 1-butanol.

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>
