A set of red-light-excited,metal-free room-temperature phosphorescence(RTP)systems was constructed with brominated phenolsulfonephthaleine derivatives.The best metal-free RTP system has the reddest near-infrared(NIR)RTP emission(λp=819 nm)with the highest phosphorescence quantum yield(ΦRTP=3.0%)so far identified.The RTP emission can be switched ON-OFF by adding acid and alkali alternately.A logic operation with half-subtractor function and dual-channel response(visible light emission/NIR RTP emission)was also constructed based on these properties.
