AI Article Synopsis

  • This study explores circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from organic microcrystals, achieving a |g| value of up to 0.11.
  • The microcrystals are created from emissive difluoroboron β-diketonate dyes combined with chiral binaphthol structures, which show strong CPL in solid form but none in solution.
  • Findings reveal that the unique chiral arrangements impact electronic interactions, enhancing the optical properties of the dyes due to specific molecular stacking and orientation.

Article Abstract

Herein we report on circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emission originating from supramolecular chirality of organic microcrystals with a |g| value up to 0.11. The microcrystals were prepared from highly emissive difluoroboron β-diketonate (BFdbk) dyes R-1 or S-1 with chiral binaphthol (BINOL) skeletons. R-1 and S-1 exhibit undetectable CPL signals in solution but manifest intense CPL emission in their chiral microcrystals. The chiral superstructures induced by BINOL skeletons were confirmed by single-crystal XRD analysis. Spectral analysis and theoretical calculations indicate that intermolecular electronic coupling, mediated by the asymmetric stacking in the chiral superstructures, effectively alters excited-state electronic structures and facilitates electron transitions perpendicular to BFbdk planes. The coupling increases cosθ from 0.05 (monomer) to 0.86 (tetramer) and triggers intense optical activity of BFbdk. The results demonstrate that optical activity of chromophores within assemblies can be regulated by both orientation and extent of intermolecular electronic couplings.

Regulating strategies for long persistent luminescence (LPL) are always in high demand. Herein, a series of coordination polymers (CPs) (SUST-Z1-Z4) are fabricated using 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives involving different substituents (─H, ─CH, ─Cl, and ─Br) as ligands, respectively. Crystallographic data demonstrate that these CPs adopt alternating arrangements of cadmium halide chains and π-conjugated ligands.

The signal intensity ratio (SIR) is a crucial factor in advancing probe technology due to its direct impact on sensitivity and precision, particularly in applications such as medical imaging, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing. However, the development of high-SIR probes is challenged by complexities in fabrication, cost, and mechanical stability. In this study, we address these limitations by investigating the role of halogen atom substitutions in modulating the intermolecular binding energy and aggregation behavior of Ce-Salen Schiff base complexes.
