  1. aThe experimental value for each material corresponds to the 0–1 peak of PL spectra measured at room temperature in the cited references, which is usually the strongest peak and the one being amplified in under the lasing behavior (if any) of the corresponding material. Note that these values are taken from undoped materials (either single crystal or thin film) to rule out the influence of the host materials. All energetics are shown in the unit of eV.
  2. bTwo single-crystalline polymorphs with two slightly different emission wavelengths have been reported. An average emission wavelength is taken here.
  3. cMolecules with asterisk are evaluated with an optimal-tuning LRC-ωPBE functional, while others are evaluated with B3LYP functional, the optimal-tuning parameter are listed in Supplementary Table 1. The same applies for Fig. 3.
