Reactions of enantiopure (S or R)-N-1-(phenyl)ethyl-2,4-X1,X2-salicylaldimine (S-H or R-H; X1, X2 = dihalogen) with Zn(II)-nitrate give bis[(S or R)-N-1-(phenyl)ethyl-2,4-X1,X2-salicylaldiminato-κ2N,O]-zinc(II), (Δ-ZnS or Λ-ZnR) with Δ/Λ-chirality induction at-metal in the C2-symmetric molecules....

Chiroptical Polymer Functionalized by Chiral Nanofibrillar Network

Chirality is one of the basic factors that influence a wide range of activities from chemical synthesis to tissue construction in life phenomena. Recently, researchers have attempted to use chirality as an optical signal. In animals, it is used to transmit information to insects and crustaceans, and it has also been confirmed that it promotes growth in plants. This chapter presents a new organic system that produces a chiral optical signal, that is, circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), which has been attracting attention in recent years. In particular, the chapter is focused on the generating CPL through chirality induction with the chiral self-assembling phenomenon and explaining its application as an optical film.

Circularly polarized electroluminescence from achiral fluorophore induced by co-assembly containing chiral polymer

Recently, much attention has been paid to circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) from achiral fluorophore through intermolecular chirality induction mechanism. In this paper, we developed a new...

Strong CPL-active Liquid Crystal Materials Induced by Intermolecular Hydrogen-bonding Interaction and Chirality Induction Mechanism

A novel co-assembly material can emit strong CPL signals (λem = 485 nm, glum = +0.076/-0.064) from achiral AIE-active β-cyanostilbene (CYS) liquid crystal dye through intermolecular hydrogen bond (HB) interaction...
