While the development of chiral molecules displaying circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has received considerable attention, corresponding CPL intensity, g lum, hardly exceeds 10-2 at molecular level owing to difficulty in optimizing key parameters governing such a process. To address this challenge, we report here synthesis and chiroptical properties new family π-helical push-pull systems based on carbo[6]helicene, where latter acts as either electron acceptor or donor unit.

Abstract Molecular designs merging circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP‐TADF) using the concept of chiral perturbation appeared recently as a cornerstone for development efficient CP‐organic light emitting diodes (CP‐OLED). Such devices could strongly increase energy efficiency performances conventional OLED displays, in which 50% emitted is often lost due to use antiglare filters. In this context, herein, ten couples enantiomers derived...

These composites can be used favourably as hydrogen storage solar cell absorbers. They also provide better performing...
