Abstract
Controlling the spin states to modulate their optical properties is crucial for spintronics and emerging quantum technologies. Open-shell luminescent diradicals are promising candidates for achieving this goal due to the independent spins. However, achieving spin-optical modulation in traditional diradicals still faces significant challenges owing to low luminescence efficiency and inevitable aggregate effects. In this study, we first achieved efficient luminescence of a diradical by suspending luminescent diradicals on a polymer main chain. The resulting diradical polymer exhibits a high photoluminescence efficiency of 44.0% in the condensed state along with excellent photostability. Most importantly, we have demonstrated successful spin-state manipulation through temperature control and application of a magnetic field. These findings open up new avenues for spin-optical modulation based on luminescent diradical materials, providing important guidance for the development spin-optoelectronics.
期刊介绍:
Macromolecules publishes original, fundamental, and impactful research on all aspects of polymer science. Topics of interest include synthesis (e.g., controlled polymerizations, polymerization catalysis, post polymerization modification, new monomer structures and polymer architectures, and polymerization mechanisms/kinetics analysis); phase behavior, thermodynamics, dynamic, and ordering/disordering phenomena (e.g., self-assembly, gelation, crystallization, solution/melt/solid-state characteristics); structure and properties (e.g., mechanical and rheological properties, surface/interfacial characteristics, electronic and transport properties); new state of the art characterization (e.g., spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, rheology), simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, multi-scale/coarse-grained modeling), and theoretical methods. Renewable/sustainable polymers, polymer networks, responsive polymers, electro-, magneto- and opto-active macromolecules, inorganic polymers, charge-transporting polymers (ion-containing, semiconducting, and conducting), nanostructured polymers, and polymer composites are also of interest. Typical papers published in Macromolecules showcase important and innovative concepts, experimental methods/observations, and theoretical/computational approaches that demonstrate a fundamental advance in the understanding of polymers.
