Helical aromatic imide based enantiomers with full-color circularly polarized luminescence

Chem Commun (Camb). 2016 Aug 2;52(64):9921-4. doi: 10.1039/c6cc04674f.

Abstract

Five pairs of enantiomers based on helical aromatic imides were synthesized, and their absolute configurations were determined using X-ray crystal structures. It was found that the enantiomers not only exhibited large Stokes shifts and high quantum yields, but also showed mirror image CD signals and full-color CPL properties.
