2.2]Paracyclophane‐Based Double Helices: Tunable Circularly Polarized Luminescence Driven by Self‐Assembly

Abstract

AbstractAchieving high luminescence dissymmetry factors and quantum yields in the solid state remains a significant challenge in developing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials. This study presents the synthesis of double helices based on planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane ([2.2]PCP) and tetraphenylethylene (TPE), which exhibit chiroptical and aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) properties. In particular, the double helix with long alkyl chains demonstrates tunable CPL activity driven by self‐assembly, exhibiting dissymmetry factors ranging from 10−4 to 10−2. Notably, doped PMMA films show an amplified dissymmetry factor of 0.058 and a high quantum yield of up to 51%. The designed molecules represent an ideal molecular functional material for generating efficient CPL with controllable dissymmetry factor and high emission efficiency in the solid state. This opens up possibilities for applications in chiroptical sensing, data storage, and light‐emitting devices based on solid‐state materials.
