Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to an organic small molecule ionic crystal, belonging to the field of single crystal growth. Background Art
[0002] X-rays are widely used in medical diagnosis and treatment, scientific research, industrial flaw detection, and nuclear research. However, due to their ultra-high photon energy and ultra-short wavelength, X-rays can cause radiation damage to human tissue after reaching a certain dose, whether in natural environments or industrial production. Therefore, X-ray protection and monitoring during use are crucial. Using photochromic materials to indicate the dose through color changes during the initial stages of X-ray exposure can effectively and intuitively mitigate the risk of X-ray leakage.
[0003] The principle of organic photochromic materials is that, under external energy stimulation, their molecular structure undergoes some kind of change, which can manifest as valence isomerism, cis-trans isomerism, bond cleavage, polymerization, oxidation-reduction, and pericyclic reactions. Electron transfer-type photochromic organic small molecule materials have a clear structural framework. Illumination can induce electron transfer in the organic portion, generating free radical ions, which exhibit good reversibility and fatigue resistance. Furthermore, through synthetically regulated structure, their photochromic properties can be adjusted, making them an ideal photochromic material for X-ray detection. However, selecting a photochromic material with an appropriate lifespan is a key prerequisite for its application. Summary of the Invention
