Initialing Circularly Polarized Room-Temperature Phosphorescence from Purely Organic Luminophore Aggregate

Abstract

The newly emerging circularly-polarized room-temperature phosphorescence (CP-RTP) has experienced rapid growth due to its intriguing photophysical properties and wide-ranging potential applications. Of particular interest are the purely organic CP-RTPs, as they offer excellent biocompatibility, versatile tunability, and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, these materials show promising applications, including biological imaging, photodiodes, intelligent sensing, information storage, and three-dimensional displays. To deepen our understanding of the luminescence mechanism and broaden the envisioned scope, herein, we summarize them based on chirality character, including point, axial, planar, and other chiral systems. This review aims to scrutinize missing clues and envision future development of the area.

Boosting Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Alkyl‐Locked Axial Chirality Scaffold by Restriction of Molecular Motions

“…There are even more excellent strategies of regulating aggregate state to enhance the CPL by self‐assembly, liquid crystal, metal‐organic framework, polymer matrix, crystallization, supramolecular encapsulation, and chiral cage [59–63] . These results further confirm that CPL enhancement can be achieved by increasing rigidity and enhancing interactions [64] . However, a systematic and comprehensive demonstration of the structure‐property relationship between the restriction of molecular motions and the enhancement of CPL performance is still lacking.…”
