However, most polymers exhibit a short RTP lifetime (<1 s) because of their unstable triplet excitons. Herein, a new strategy of polymer chain stabilized phosphorescence (PCSP), which yields a new kind of RTP polymers with an ultralong lifetime and a sensitive oxygen response, has been reported. The rigid polymer chains of poly(methyl mathacrylate) (PMMA) immobilize the emitter molecules through multiple interactions between them, giving rise to efficient RTP. Meanwhile, the loosely-packed amorphous polymer chains allow oxygen to diffuse inside, endowing the doped polymers with oxygen sensitivity. Flexible and transparent polymer films exhibited an impressive ultralong RTP lifetime of 2.57 s at room temperature in vacuum, which was among the best performance of PMMA. Intriguingly, their RTP was rapidly quenched in the presence of oxygen. Furthermore, RTP microparticles with a diameter of 1.63 μm were synthesized using <em>in situ</em> dispersion polymerization technique. Finally, oxygen sensors for quick, visual, and quantitative oxygen detection were developed based on the RTP microparticles through phosphorescence lifetime and image analysis. With distinctive advantages such as an ultralong lifetime, oxygen sensitivity, ease of fabrication, and cost-effectiveness, PCSP opens a new avenue to sensitive materials for oxygen detection.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10088,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Chemical Letters","volume":"36 5","pages":"Article 110629"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143487379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
