Abstract
Abstract Circularly polarized organic long persistent luminescence (CP‐OLPL) has garnered significant attention due to its distinctive properties. However, achieving CP‐OLPL materials with ultralong durations remains a formidable challenge. Herein, an effective strategy is proposed to obtain long‐lived CP‐OLPL by constructing a self‐designed chiral donor for developing a host–guest chiral exciplex system. The gradual recombination of long‐lived charge‐separated states enables a green CP‐OLPL emission to persist for over 1.5 hours with an asymmetry factor (| g lum |) of 4.5 × 10 −3 . More intriguingly, doping with rubrene fluorophore yields an orange‐red CP‐OLPL system, exhibiting a duration over 1 hour and | g lum | of 2.3 × 10 −3 through synergistic singlet‐singlet and chirality energy transfer. These properties render the development of chiral afterglow display, multi‐level information encryption, and afterglow lighting. This work not only represents a significant advancement in the design of chiral donors for ultralong CP‐OLPL exciplex system with durations but also provides valuable insights into exciton dynamics.
