<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>A thiophene-derived boronate ester-cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol, 1-PVA, has been prepared, which was found to exhibit room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) at 475 nm upon UV irradiation (λem = 254 nm). The quantum yield (Φp) was determined to be 6.3% with a phosphorescence lifetime of 256 ms, the cyanish afterglow being visually detected after switching the UV lamp off. The emission properties were rationalized by El-Sayed’s rule, where introduction of a sulfur atom brings about n → π* transition in the T2 state to promote an ISC channel. Given that the phosphorescence spectrum at 77 K was consistent with that in the PVA film, the rigid environment of PVA-based matrix may stabilize the triplet state. In addition, the delayed emissive color was tuned by doping various amounts of sulforhodamine B (SRhoB) in the film; a triplet-to-singlet Förster-type resonance energy transfer process occurred from cross-linked thiophene boronate to SRhoB acceptor which modified the emission to a white-light afterglow. Given water-sensitivity of the resultant film, high-contrast water writing on the film was achieved, which would be profitable for a low-cost security film.</jats:p>
