Heteroatom-doped organic π-conjugated molecules (OCMs) have become one type of emerging optoelectronic material with intriguing functionalities. Phosphorus (P)-doped OCMs are a special member of heteroatom-doped OCMs where rich P-chemistry is able to fine-tune their optoelectronic properties. Herein, we report a new series of nonplanar diazaphosphepine-based polycyclic aromatic heterocycles (DPP-PAHs). Efficient and mild double P-N cyclization allowed one to readily incorporate two P-centers in DPP-PAHs. With nonplanar diazaphosphepine rings, DPP-PAHs exhibit contorted structures in single crystal structures. The functionalization of double P-centers by H2O2 and S8 gave DPP-PAHs with P 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 11111111 00000000 11111111 00000000 00000000 00000000 O and P S centers, respectively. Compared with the parent small molecule, the DPP-PAHs exhibit high photoluminescence quantum yields. Our experimental and theoretical studies further revealed that both P-environments and conjugated backbones have impacts on the photophysical properties of the DPP-PAHs. © 2023 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
