Our paper on symmetry breaking and room-temperature phosphorescence induced by iodine substitution in thienyl diketone skeleton has been published in The Journal of Chemical Physics.

Our collaborative study with Professor Tani’s group at Osaka University has been published in The Journal of Chemical Physics, reporting the impact of iodine-substitution on the symmetry and room-temperature phosphorescence behavior of thienyl diketone skeleton. Mr. Ehara (D2) from our lab conducted femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy, revealing ultrafast intersystem crossing in TIPS-ITn and contributing to the elucidation of its phosphorescence mechanism.
