Bis(haloBODIPYs) with Labile Helicity: Valuable Simple Organic Molecules That Enable Circularly Polarized Luminescence

Chemistry. 2016 Jun 20;22(26):8805-8. doi: 10.1002/chem.201601463. Epub 2016 May 12.

Abstract

Simple organic molecules (SOM) based on bis(haloBODIPY) are shown to enable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), giving rise to a new structural design for technologically valuable CPL-SOMs. The established design comprises together synthetic accessibility, labile helicity, possibility of reversing the handedness of the circularly polarized emission, and reactive functional groups, making it unique and attractive as advantageous platform for the development of smart CPL-SOMs.

Keywords: BODIPY; chirality; circularly polarized luminescence; fluorescence; small organic molecules.
