A new organic compound 3-(5, 7-dioxoimidazo[4, 5-f]isoindol-6(1H, 5H, 7H)-yl) benzenesulfonic acid (DIBS) was synthesized by condensation of benzimidazo-5, 6-dicarboxylic acid and m-aminobenzene sulfonic acid. Then two solid phases, DIBS(10℃) and DIBS(60℃), were obtained by recrystallization at different temperatures. DIBS(10℃) had green room temperature phosphorescence with a lifetime of 721.6 ms, while the yellow-green afterglow of DIBS(60℃) consisted of delayed fluorescence and room temperature phosphorescence with lifetimes of 259.8 and 336.3 ms, respectively. The different luminescence behaviors of the two phases can be attributed to the different conformations and stacking structures of DIBS molecules in the two phases. Interestingly, DIBS(10℃) could be transformed into DIBS(60℃) under grinding or heating stimulation, showing rare afterglow stimulus - response behavior.
