Description
D-A-D' asymmetric decoupling organic X-ray scintillator, and synthetic method and application thereof Technical Field The invention belongs to the technical field of organic photoelectric functional materials, and particularly relates to a pure organic X-ray scintillator with a D-A-D' asymmetric structure, a synthesis method thereof and application thereof in radiation detection and imaging. Background The X-ray imaging technology is used as a core technology for supporting the key fields of aerospace high-energy physical experiments, public safety security inspection, industrial nondestructive detection, modern medical diagnosis and the like, and the performance improvement of the X-ray imaging technology is closely related to the development of scintillator materials. The scintillator is used as a core medium for converting X-rays and visible light, and the sensitivity, resolution and application scene suitability of the imaging system are directly determined. In the existing scintillator material, although the inorganic material and the organic metal complex have strong X-ray absorption capability, the existing scintillator material has the defects of high-temperature condition required for synthesis, complex preparation process, high production cost, environmental pollution caused by heavy metal elements and the like, and severely limits the application range of the scintillator material. The organic scintillator has the advantages of easily available raw materials, low preparation cost, good mechanical flexibility, easy processing, large-area preparation and the like, and becomes an important development direction of scintillator materials. However, the traditional organic scintillator is based on fluorescent chromophore, and is limited by spin forbidden mechanism, transition from singlet excitons (S 1) to triplet excitons (T 1) is blocked, only about 25% of singlet excitons participate in luminescence, and the rest 75% of triplet excitons dissipate energy through non-radiative relaxation, so that the utilization rate of excitons is extremely low, and the performance improvement of the organic scintillator is restricted. The Thermal Activation Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) material provides a new way for solving the problem of exciton utilization rate by means of small singlet-triplet state energy gap (delta E ST), potential 100% exciton utilization rate and characteristics, and the Room Temperature Phosphorescence (RTP) material directly radiates transition luminescence through triplet state excitons, thereby exhibiting application potential in flexible X-ray imaging. However, both materials are highly sensitive to temperature changes, which not only limits the working temperature range, but also easily causes exciton quenching, and how to improve the thermal stability and realize the efficient luminescence in a wide temperature range becomes a scientific difficulty to be solved urgently. Research shows that the scintillator is required to have both small delta E ST and large spin-orbit coupling parameters (SOC) to realize dual-mode temperature self-adaptive switching of low-temperature phosphorescence/high-temperature TADF. The design of a high-twist donor-acceptor (D-A) structure through a bond charge transfer (TBCT) or space charge transfer (TSCT) mechanism is an effective strategy for regulating delta EST and SOC, but no molecular configuration can cooperatively realize independent regulation of TBCT and TSCT at present, and the combination of donor and acceptor is limited, so that the small delta EST and the strong SOC are difficult to be compatible. In summary, the difficulty of existing organic scintillators in maintaining stable, efficient luminescence over a wide temperature range (e.g., from liquid nitrogen temperatures to above room temperature) severely limits their application in complex environments (e.g., space exploration, polar scientific research, certain industrial settings). Therefore, it is important to develop an organic scintillator capable of adaptively adjusting the light emission mode in a wide temperature range while maintaining a high exciton utilization. Disclosure of Invention A first object of the present invention is to provide a class of D-a-D' asymmetrically decoupled organic X-ray scintillators. The scintillator realizes the compatibility of a small singlet-triplet state energy gap (delta EST) and strong Spin Orbit Coupling (SOC) through a coordinated regulation and control bond charge transfer (TBCT) and space charge transfer (TSCT) mechanism, so that the low-temperature phosphorescence and room-temperature Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence (TADF) modes are adaptively switched within a wide temperature range of 77K to 400K, and the exciton utilization efficiency is remarkably improved. The technical scheme is specifically as follows: Firstly, the invention discloses a D-A-D' asymmetric decoupling organic X-ray scintillator, the structural formula of which is sh
