Facile and versatile approach for generating circularly polarized luminescence by non-chiral, low-molecular dye-on-nanotemplate composite system

Abstract

This paper proposes a new approach for generating strong circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), based on the complexation of non-chiral, non-functionalized fluorophores with chirallyassembled nanotemplate. The observed CPL intensities of anthracene and pyrene bound to the nanotemplate reached -1.4 ×10-2 and -0.85×10-2 (dissymmetry factor), respectively.
