Abstract
AbstractDesigning optimized systems for triplet‐triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA‐UC) with high UC emission efficiency at low power densities remains challenging. To improve the lifetime of triplet photosensitizers for TTA‐UC, donor‐acceptor‐heavy atoms were used to synthesize rotationally restricted PY‐MBD‐BR and unrestricted PY‐BD‐BR photosensitizers. The singlet oxygen quantum yields of both photosensitizers was ≈0.60 due to their structural similarity, except for the degree of rotation between the donor and acceptor. The triplet lifetime of PY‐BD‐BR and PY‐MBD‐BR was 352 μs and 1,503 μs, respectively. The latter may be among the highest reported for BODIPY photosensitizers. The prolonged triplet lifetime enabled excellent green‐to‐blue upconversion emission of PY‐MBD‐BR, with a high upconversion emission efficiency (ηUC) of 8.8 % and low threshold intensity (Ith) of 90 mW/cm2 compared to PY‐BD‐Br (low ηUC of 4.0 % and high Ith of 381 mW/cm2). The rigid molecular design of triplet photosensitizers based on donor‐acceptor‐heavy atom systems has potential for efficient TTA‐UC.
