Circularly polarized near-infrared phosphorescence of chiral chromium(iii) complexes†
Abstract
Homoleptic Cr(III) complexes containing anionic tridentate 1,8-(bisoxazolyl)carbazolide ligands are phosphorescent in deaerated solutions with peak maxima in the range of 813–845 nm. The ligand carbon-centred chirality has been transferred to the helical chirality of the complexes and hence induced circularly polarized NIR-emissions with dissymmetry factor in the scale of 2.0 × 10−3.
