60. All the luminogens investigated in this work are non-emissive in solutions at room temperature. The fluorescence spectra in the THF solutions at room temperature given here were obtained by changing instrumental parameters and by mathematical treatment to magnify the signals.
61. Phosphorescence from crystals of benzophenone has been reported by other research groups, most of which, however, were carried out at cryogenic temperatures: Laporte, J. L.; Nouchi, G.; Rousset, Y. J. Chem. Phys. 1972, 57, 1767

63. Golovchenko, V. P.; Roskolodko, V. G.; Sivak, N. S.; Faidysh, A. N. Russ. Phys. J. 1968, 11, 106 In contrast, our study is on organic luminogen with efficient phosphorescence at room temperature

68. The C?HF hydrogen bond has often been observed in the crystals of fluorine-containing organic compounds. The fluorine atom in such a compound prefers to form a C?HF hydrogen bond rather than a FF linkage. For example, see: Thalladi, V. R.; Weiss, H.-C.; Bla1ser, D.; Boese, R.; Nangia, A.; Desiraju, G. R. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1998, 120, 8702

74. Dreger et al. investigated the emission of BP and other luminogens in doped polymer films and other solid media, with the focus on the effects of pressure, irradiation and environmental conditions on the light-emitting behaviors: Dreger, Z.

77. D?HX (D = O, N, C; X = F, Cl, Br) hydrogen bonds exist in crystals under suitable conditions. For example: Thallapally, P. K.; Nangia, A. CrystEngComm 2001, 27, 1

79. C?BrBr?C halogen bonds have been observed in many organic crystals. For example: Zaman, M. B.; Udachin, K. A.; Ripmeester, J. A. Cryst. Growth Des. 2004, 4, 585
80. C - OBr?C intermolecular interaction occurs in organic crystals under suitable conditions. For example: Moorthy, J. N.; Venkatakrishnan, P.; Mal, P.; Dixit, S.; Venugopalan, P. Cryst. Growth Des. 2003, 3, 581
