Abstract

A high luminescence asymmetry factor (g_lum) and an excellent luminescence quantum yield in aggregated state are crucial factors for evaluating the application potential of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials, yet achieving both simultaneously remains challenging. In this work, two AIE-active fluorogens based on two conjugated cyano-distyrylbenzenes attaching one or two cholesterol moieties with amide groups as spacers (BiCDB-1Ch and BiCDB-2Ch) were designed and synthesized. Both BiCDB-1Ch and BiCDB-2Ch showed the excellent CPL properties in aggregated states based on their hydrogen-bonding columnar liquid crystalline self-assembly. The absolute fluorescence quantum yield of BiCDB-1Ch with stronger D-A structure was 0.43 and the g_lum value was as high as 0.30, which was the highest one among the reported columnar CPL liquid crystals. The detailed liquid crystalline self-assembly behaviour and the mechanism of efficient chirality transfer and amplification were elucidated, providing a strategic approach for developing the novel liquid crystalline materials with superior CPL performance.

期刊介绍： The journal includes papers in the following areas: – Simple organic liquids and mixtures – Ionic liquids – Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces – Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles – Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals – Ferrofluids – Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids – Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts – Molten metals and salts – Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids – Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include: – Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.) – Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.) – Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.) – Dielectric relaxation – X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction. Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
