Abstract

可见光与近红外(NIR)光的分离在近红外相关领域中有重要意义. 选择性地从环境中提取近红外光的可见光不透明-近红外透明(VONIRT)材料在许多领域都有着广泛的应用. VONIRT材料通常是无机材料, 通常存在脆性、 毒性或者制备成本高的缺点. 经典有机分子由于其吸收光谱不够宽, 不能覆盖到全部可见光区域, 不能作为VONIRT材料使用. 在本工作中, 我们报道了具有ADA’DA构型的全稠环分子, 将其作为VONIRT材料应用于近红外安全与防伪中. 通过对分子的分子内电荷转移进行调节, 这类分子实现了400到800 nm的宽吸收光谱, 半峰宽为299 nm. 此外, 由于它们的全稠环骨架, 这些分子表现出优异的光稳定性. 将优化后的全稠环分子与高分子基底共混, 成功制备了VONIRT滤光片. 该滤光片可以选择性地阻挡可见光以及透过近红外光. 该滤光片不仅可以选择性提取环境中的近红外光, 也能在近红外相关的实际场景(近红外安全、 法医学以及防伪等)中使用. 本工作揭示了全稠环分子的一种新的光学性质, 并且提供了一类新型的、 实用的VONIRT材料.
