Exploration of highly efficient blue-violet light conversion agents for agricultural film based on structure optimization of TPA

摘要： To obtain highly efficient blue-violet light conversion agents used for agricultural film, six triarylacrylonitrile derivatives and their doping films were prepared. Further, the luminogens have the ability to convert UV light into blue-violet light, and exhibit aggregation dependent fluorescence emission and high-contrast fluorescence quantum yields from 0.004 to 0.833. Based on X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis and aggregation-induced emission activity tests, the variant fluorescence quantum yields are attributed to intermolecular π-π stacking and phase transition between crystalline state and amorphous state. In simulated greenhouse environment, the luminogens exhibit excellent photostability. However, their fluorescence intensity drop to 17%-40% of prime intensity after outdoor radiation for one month due to the ring-closing oxidation reaction (In summer). By comprehensively considering the above photophysical properties and mechanical properties of the doping film, Ph4TPA is a potential light conversion agent for agricultural film in winter. More importantly, the results indicate the properties of the light conversion films are expected to be further improved by molecular design inhibiting the ring-closing oxidation reaction and dispersion of crystalline nanoparticles in the doping film.
