Polymerization is one of the most widely used strategies to achiever RTP. To date, various polymer-based RTP materials have been reported. However, how to improve the phosphorescence lifetime of polymer-based RTP materials still needs to be further researched. In this article, we proposed a new strategy to realize long-lived room-temperature phosphorescence by utilizing the “jacketing” effect of mesogen-jacketed liquid crystal polymers. Two polymers PMJ0DFM and PMJ6DFM with different flexible spacer length were synthesized, and their liquid crystal phase structures and photo-physical properties were systematically investigated. PMJ0DFM formed columnar nematic phase while PMJ6DFM formed a more ordered hexagonal columnar phase liquid crystal. For PMJ0DFM without spacer length, due to the strong “Jacketing” effect, the thermal motion of the chromophore was suppressed, and it was also more conducive to the aggregation and planarization of the chromophores. Therefore, PMJ0DFM film showed longer phosphorescence lifetime and more red-shifted phosphorescence spectrum than PMJ6DFM film. The phosphorescence lifetimes of PMJ0DFM and PMJ6DFM were 355 ms and 247 ms, respectively. In addition, we also explored their application in linearly polarized luminescent materials. When oriented, PMJ0DFM and PMJ6DFM film could emit efficient linearly polarized room temperature phosphorescence.
