This review summarizes the recent progress of efficient room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) from pure organic luminogens achieved by crystallization-induced phosphorescence (CIP), with focus on the advances in our group. Besides homocrystals, mixed crystals and cocrystals are also discussed. Meanwhile, intriguing RTP emission from the luminogens without conventional chromophores is demonstrated.
