Tunable circularly polarized electroluminescence behaviors from chiral co-assembled conjugated liquid crystal polymers.

Chiral co-assembly strategy has proven effective in increasing the dissymmetry factor (g) of the emitting layers (EMLs) in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the molecular structures that facilitate chiral co-assembly for further amplification of circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) signals. In this study, three types of achiral conjugated liquid crystal (LC) polymers (PFPh, PFNa and PFPy) and chiral binaphthyl-based polymer inducers (R/S-FO) were synthesized to construct corresponding chiral co-assemblies (R/S-FO)-(PFPh/Na/Py) as EMLs for CP-OLEDs through strong intermolecular π-π stacking interactions.

Strong Circularly-Polarized Room-Temperature Phosphorescence from a Feasibly Separable Scaffold of Bidibenzo[b,d]furan with Locked Axial Chirality.

Novel accessible scaffold featuring circularly-polarized room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is attractive but challenging. Herein, we report a new feasibly separable bidibenzo[b,d]furan compound with strong circularly-polarized RTP when doping into the rigid polymer matrix. The simple silica-gel column can separate the absolute chiral R-isomer with excellent chiroptical properties.
