Materials with tunable long persistent luminescence (LPL) properties have wide applications in security signs, anti-counterfeiting, data encrypting, and other fields. However, the majority of reported tunable LPL materials are pure organic molecules or polymers. Herein, a series of metal-organic coordination polymers displaying color-tunable LPL were synthesized by the self-assembly of HTzPTpy ligand with different cadmium halides (X=Cl, Br, and I). In the solid state, their LPL emission colors can be tuned by the time-evolution, as well as excitation and temperature variation, realizing multi-mode dynamic color tuning from green to yellow or green to red, and are the first such examples in single-component coordination polymer materials. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and theoretical calculations reveal that the modification of LPL is due to the balanced action from single molecule and aggregate triplet excited states caused by an external heavy-atom effect. The results show that the rational introduction of different halide anions into coordination polymers can realize multi-color LPL.

Four new tetrazole-containing species, in conjugation with terpyridine moieties through phenyl or pyridyl linkers, have been synthesised and characterised. In the series, the tetrazole functional groups are either in their acidic form or are alkylated at the N2 position with a methyl group. The photophysical properties of the species reveal moderate UV or efficient blue fluorescent emission, with photoluminescence quantum yields of around 30 % and 80 % for UV and blue emission, respectively. The spectral profiles can be reversibly modulated through protonation/deprotonation, with changes being consistent with an increase of the electron density on the tetrazole rings upon deprotonation or a decrease of the electron density on the terpyridines through protonation. The tetrazole-containing species were also investigated for fluorescence sensing of biologically and environmentally important metal ions, highlighting a ratiometric response to the presence of Zn2+. Furthermore, this ratiometric response could be well discriminated from that of interfering Cd2+ ions. Lastly, the species have been investigated as ligands for Eu3+ and Yb3+ cations, revealing efficient sensitisation, to give typical red and near-infrared emissions, respectively.
