Strong circularly polarized luminescence from the supramolecular gels of an achiral gelator: tunable intensity and handedness

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: -symmetric molecule. Most importantly, the excellent tunability of these novel CPL materials, which benefits from achiral molecular building blocks as well as the nature of supramolecular gels, has been investigated. Thus, the CPL intensity of these supramolecular gels is easily enhanced by mechanical stirring or doping chiral amines. The handedness of CPL signals is controlled by the chirality of organic amines.
