We have observed very bright visible luminescence from N-isopropylcarbazole (NIPCz) when the compound crystallizes from the molten state to a crystalline aggregate. The sample crystals were heated on a glass plate to above their melting point (380 K) and cooled gradually under ambient conditions. When their temperature fell below 350 K, sudden rapid crystallization took place, accompanied by bluish-white luminescence. Video imaging of the phenomena revealed that both the crystallization and luminescence occurred in the same time frame of <0.5 ms, demonstrating that the two effects were intimately related to each other, i.e., crystalloluminescence (XTL). Thermal analysis of the sample revealed that the preceding state prior to the crystallization was not a glassy solid, but a supercooled liquid state. The XTL spectrum agreed very well with both photo- and triboluminescence spectra of NIPCz. Moreover, its intensity was considerably higher than the reported values for other crystalloluminescent materials suc...
