OFF/ON switching of circularly polarized luminescence by oxophilic interaction of homochiral sulfoxide-containing o-OPEs with metal cations
Here we describe a new class of CPL switches based on oxophilic interactions between chiral sulfoxide-containing ortho-phenylene ethynylene (o-OPE) foldamers and cationic metals. These systems represent a unique case combining high glum values (up to 0.7 × 10−2) and high quantum yields in both folded ON and unfolded OFF CPL states.
