Abstract

En 中文
Achieving controllable vitrification in organic-inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) without luminescence quenching remains a challenge due to rigid structural constraints. Herein, we exploit the structural flexibility inherent in 0D Zn(II) hybrids to develop a mechanochemical strategy for coordination-engineered long-afterglow materials. By simply modulating liquid-assisted grinding (LAG) agents, we achieve precise interconversion between halide-coordinated [ZnX4]2− and coordination-type [ZnNX3]2− geometries. Crucially, this flexible coordination environment facilitates a crystal-to-glass transition (Tg = 51.1°C –65.1°C) while preserving luminescent integrity. The resulting materials exhibit tunable room-temperature phosphorescence (3.6–11.7 ms), with (IMP)ZnCl3 showing a persistent yellow afterglow. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that halogen substitution and coordination geometry synergistically regulate charge-transfer processes. This work establishes a structure-flexibility-luminescence relationship, enabling dynamic anti-counterfeiting systems based on time-resolved optical logic.
