Amplifying circularly polarized luminescence in chirality-matched dye-silver clusters

In this issue of Chem, Zang and co-workers report the enantioselective co-assembly between the chiral building units of an organic dye and silver cluster to amplify circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity. The chirality-matched pair of organic-dye assembly donor and silver-cluster acceptor leads to a hierarchical co-self-assembly system that realizes efficient energy transfer with a sensitized CPL response.

Chiral silver cluster-based light-harvesting systems: Enantioselective chirality transfer and amplified circularly polarized luminescenceYuan et al.ChemFebruary 21, 2024In BriefThe chirality-matching and -specific interactions between donors and acceptors enantioselectively facilitate chirality/energy transfer from S-/R-BPOA assembly to chiral Ag6 clusters in nanohelices, realizing efficient ET and CPET processes with amplified CPL responses. This work provides valuable new insights into chiroptical phenomena in C-LHSs and the hierarchical evolution of homochirality. Furthermore, these findings contribute to the advancement of CPL-regulated applications in areas such as information encryption and chirality detection. Full-Text PDF
