The strong reliance on oil and gas necessitates continuous refinery operations, resulting in the unregulated and sustained production of byproducts such as elemental sulfur (S<sub>8</sub>), thereby posing significant management challenges.
Description
Converting this byproduct into valuable materials through sustainable, environmentally friendly methods offers a promising solution by reducing costs, health risks, and processing challenges.
As the field of light-emitting materials continues to expand globally, the demand for sustainable, stable, and efficient optoelectronic materials is steadily increasing. Herein, we report the mechanochemical synthesis of luminescent <i>N</i>-heterocyclic chalcogenones, hexaphenylpyridineimidazolthione (<b>HPPIT</b>) and hexaphenylpyridineimidazolselone (<b>HPPIS</b>). The material is readily synthesized by mechanogrinding and ball milling using various solvent-free methods.

Along with the synthesis of material, the studies include crystallographic and thermal analyses, stating thermal stability up to 340 °C. Also, it stabilized the excited state (<i>f</i> = 0.0405) and enhanced the photoluminescence properties (Φ = 14%, τ<sub>avg</sub> = 8.9 ns) in crystalline <b>HPPIT</b>. To assess the function, <b>HPPIT</b> and <b>HPPIS</b> were converted into films at different concentrations, and the maximum lifetime (τ<sub>avg</sub>) was 16.96 ns with a quantum yield (Φ) of 6.1%.
This approach highlights the valorization of industrial elemental sulfur into a luminescent functional material via solvent-free mechanochemical synthesis, which represents a paradigm for sustainable optoelectronics aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
