Co-assembling system that exhibits bright circularly polarized luminescence†
Abstract
We demonstrate that a co-assembling system comprising a nonchiral cyanine dye and an enantiomeric lysine-derived amphiphile assembly show circularly polarized luminescence with a high dissymmetry factor (|glum| = 0.14) in combination with strong emission (quantum yield ϕ = 0.70, absorption coefficient ε = 3.7 × 105 M−1 cm−1). The circular polarization luminosity of the main transition band was calculated as 4.9 × 10−2.
