Aggregation-induced circularly polarized phosphorescence of Pt(ii) complexes with an axially chiral BINOL ligand

A pair of chiral Pt(II) complexes coordinated by simple BINOL and bipyridine ligands displaying aggregation-induced phosphorescence and circularly polarized luminescence were characterized by X-ray crystallography and absorption and emission spectroscopies. The emission of the powder sample was reddish whereas the thin film dispersed in PMMA (fPf = 1 wt%) exhibited a white emission.
