Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in two subregions of the near-infrared (NIR) has been achieved. By leveraging the rigidity and diminishing detrimental vibrations of the heterobimetallic binolate complexes of erbium [(Binol)3ErNa3], species exhibiting an exceptionally high dissymmetry factor (|glum |) of 0.47 at 1550 nm were obtained. These erbium complexes are the first reported examples of CPL observed beyond 1200 nm. Analogous complexes of ytterbium and neodymium also exhibited strong CPL (|glum| = 0.17, 0.05, respectively) in a higher energy NIR window (800-1200 nm). All complexes exhibit high quantum yields (Er: 0.58%, Yb: 17%, Nd: 9.3%) and high BCPL values (Er: 57 M-1 cm-1, Yb: 379 M-1 cm-1, Nd: 29 M-1 cm-1). Because of their strong CPL emission in the telecom band (1550 nm), biologically relevant NIR emission window (800-1100 nm), and synthetic versatility, the complexes reported here could permit further promising developments in quantum communication technologies and biologically relevant sensors.
