Reported here for the first time is the synthesis of red‐ and multicolor‐emitting Ch‐CPDs using the common precursors L‐/D‐tryptophan and o‐phenylenediamine, and a solvothermal approach at one temperature. The quantum yield of the Ch‐CPDs was between 31 % and 54 %. Supramolecular self‐assembly provided multicolor‐emitting Ch‐CPDs showing novel circularly polarized luminescence, with the highest dissymmetric factor (glum) of 1×10−2. Importantly, circularly polarized white‐emitting CPDs were fabricated for the first time by tuning the mixing ratio of the three colored Ch‐CPDs in a gel. This strategy affords exciting opportunities for designing functional chiroptical materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
