Phosphorescence has seldom been observed in purely organic dyes in the solution at room temperature. We herein report efficient phosphorescence in the solution from (E)-3-benzylideneimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3H)-one and its derivatives. This opens up a new

Herein, we present three imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2(3 H)-one derivatives that are diamagnetic in solution, but paramagnetic in the solid state, possibly owing to a stacking-induced formation of phenoxide-type radicals. Notably, a larger bathochromic shift of the absorption (even up to the near- infrared region) of these three compounds was observed in the solid state than in solution, which was attributable to the ordered columnar stacking arrangements or their single-electron character as radicals in the solid state. Interestingly, compared to that in solution, (E)-3-(pyridin-4′-ylmethylene)imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine 2(3 H)-one displayed a largely red-shifted emission (centered at 660 nm, with tailing above 800 nm) in the solid state. A larger bathochromic shift (260 nm) of the emission is an indication of better order and tight stacking in the solid state, which is brought about by the rigid and polar acceptor. These three compounds also reveal different magnetic susceptibilities at 300 K, thus implying that they possess various columnar stacking structures. Most interestingly, these three radicals exhibit unusual ferromagnetic-to- antiferromagnetic phase transitions, which can be attributed to anisotropic contraction and non-uniform slippage of the columnar stacking chains. Stacking the deck: Three organic compounds are diamagnetic in solution but paramagnetic in the solid state. These compounds also show stacking-induced NIR absorption and peculiar ferromagnetic-to-antiferromagnetic phase transition in the solid state. Copyright
