Abstract

Chiroptical micro/nanomaterials with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties have aroused ever-increasing attention. However, the variety of such materials is seriously limited in self-assembly systems from small organic molecules. Herein, we report an unprecedented, facile strategy to achieve monodispersed polymer-based CPL-active core/shell particles using maleic anhydride copolymer as core and chiral helical polyacetylene as shell. Noticeably, the obtained core/shell particles carry no conventional fluorescent units, but can show intense blue-emitting nonconventional fluorescence with both aggregation-induced emission and concentration-enhanced emission performance. In particular, it is interesting that excitation-dependent CPL emission behavior is further observed in the core/shell particles, with the highest luminescence dissymmetry factor of 5 × 10-3. The present work provides a versatile platform with wide universality for constructing polymeric CPL nano/microarchitectures.
