Catalytic one-handed helix-induction and memory of amphiphilic poly(biphenylylacetylene)s in water
Abstract A series of amphiphilic biphenylylacetylene-based homo- and copolymers (PBPAs) carrying chiral and/or achiral oligo(ethylene glycol) pendants at the 4’-position of the biphenyl units were synthesized and the amplification of the macromolecular helicity through noncovalent and/or covalent chiral interactions followed by the memory of the helicity were investigated in both water and organic solvents. The macromolecular helicity was efficiently induced in the homopolymers of achiral monomers through specific encapsulation of a catalytic amount of hydrophobic chiral guests in water and their induced helicities were stably memorized in water after complete removal of the optically-activ…
Strong circularly polarized luminescence of an octahedral chromium(iii) complex
The chiral spin-flip luminophore [Cr(ddpd)2]3+ can be resolved into enantiopure material by chiral HPLC. The corresponding enantiomers show very high luminescence dissymmetry factors of up to ∣glum ∣≈ 0.093 in circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) measurements for the "ruby-like" phosphorescence transition 2E/2T1 → 4A2 in the near-IR region around λ ≈ 775 nm.
