Details: The Present Work Introduces A Novel Hybrid Organic-Inorganic 2D Perovskite, Where A Rational Molecular Design Strategy Enables Efficient Triplet Exciton Generation Through An Excited-State Charge Transfer (ESCT) Process. Upon Photoexcitation, A Sharp And Intense Emission Peak Having A Narrow Bandwidth Is Observed At ~ 400 Nm, Reflecting Excitonic Emission From The Perovskite Entity, Which Subsequently Undergoes Charge Transfer To The Energetically Aligned Triplet State Of The Organic Spacer Molecule. The Triplet State (T1) Of The Spacer Molecule Then Undergoes Radiative Intersystem Crossing (ISC) To The Ground State (S0), Resulting In Efficient Broad Phosphorescence Emission At ~ 560 Nm Having An Excited State Lifetime Of ~ 30 Milliseconds Under Ambient Atmosphere, Suggesting Excellent Moisture Stability Of The 2D Perovskite.
