Long Persistent Luminescence from Metal–Organic Compounds: State of the Art

Abstract The excited‐state tuning of luminescent metal–organic compounds has made great progress in the fields of optical imaging, photocatalysis, photodynamic therapy, light‐emitting devices, sensors, and so on. Although metal–organic compounds with high luminescence efficiency can be realized via enhanced molecular rigidity and heavy‐atom effect, their corresponding luminescence lifetimes are still limited on the order of a nanosecond to a millisecond, owing to the inherent competition between luminous efficiency and lifetime. Therefore, the advanced applications (i.e., persistent afterglow imaging, information security, anti‐counterfeiting, and smart materials, among others) related with long persistent…
