Preparation of a Spontaneously Resolved Chiral Fluorescent System Containing 4‐(2‐Arylethynyl)benzoic Acid

AbstractA spontaneously resolved chiral fluorescent system was prepared from achiral 4‐(2‐arylethynyl)benzoic acid and racemic (rac)‐1‐phenylethylamine. Although functional chiral organic materials are usually prepared from chiral molecules, the chiral organic fluorophore described herein is successfully generated from achiral and racemic molecules to form a system that emits circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the solid state.

Preparation of a spontaneous resolution chiral fluorescent system using 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid

A spontaneous resolution chiral fluorescent system is prepared by using 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid, and racemic (rac)-1-phenylethylamine or rac-1-cyclohexylethylamine. Although chiral functional organic materials are usually prepared using chiral molecules, in this system, a chiral organic fluorophore, which exhibits fluorescence in the solid state, is prepared from achiral and rac molecules.
