Chiral supramolecular assembly has been assigned to be one of the most favorable strategies for the development of excellent circularly polarized luminescent (CPL)-active materials. Herein, we report our study of an achiral boron-containing pyrene (Py)-based chromophore (PyBO) as a circularly polarized excimer emission (CPEE) dye induced by chiral co-assemblies containing chiral binaphthyl-based enantiomers (R/S-M). Chiral co-assembly R/S-M-(PyBO)4 fresh film spin-coated from toluene solution can exhibit orderly nanofibers and strong green CPEE (λem = 512 nm, gem = ±0.45, ΦFL = 51.2 %) resulting from an achiral PyBO excimer. In contrast, only a very weak blue CPL was observed (λem = 461 nm, gem = ± 0.0125, ΦFL = 19.0 %) after 187 h due to PyBO monomer emission as spherulite growth. Interestingly, this kind of chiral co-assembly R-M-(PyBO)4-T film from tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution retains uniform morphology and affords the most stable and strongest CPEE performance (λem = 512 nm, gem = + 0.62, ΦFL = 53.3 %) after 10 days.

通过手性共组装过程的溶剂化调节动态稳定和放大的圆偏振准分子发射
手性超分子组装已被认为是开发优异的圆偏振发光(CPL)活性材料的最有利策略之一。在此,我们报告了我们对非手性含硼芘(Py)基发色团(PyBO)作为圆偏振准分子发射(CPEE)染料的研究,该染料由含有手性联萘基对映体( R / S -M)的手性共组装体诱导)。由甲苯溶液旋涂的手性共组装体R / S -M-(PyBO) 4新鲜薄膜可以表现出有序的纳米纤维和强绿色 CPEE (λ em = 512 nm, g em = ±0.45, Φ FL = 51.2 %)来自非手性 PyBO 准分子。相反,由于球晶生长时 PyBO 单体发射,187 小时后仅观察到非常弱的蓝色 CPL(λ em = 461 nm, g em = ± 0.0125, Φ FL = 19.0 %)。有趣的是,这种由四氢呋喃(THF)溶液制备的手性共组装体R -M-(PyBO) 4 -T薄膜保持了均匀的形貌,并提供了最稳定和最强的CPEE性能(λ em = 512 nm, g em = + 0.62 , Φ FL = 53.3 %) 10 天后。
