Boosting the efficiency of organic persistent room-temperature phosphorescence by intramolecular triplet-triplet energy transfer

The potential of organic materials with persistent room-temperature phosphorescence for high-tech application is limited by their low efficiency. Here, the authors report a strategy to enhance persistent room-temperature phosphorescence efficiency via intramolecular triplet-triplet energy transfer.
