An AIE-active chiral conjugated polymer P-1 exhibited aggregation-induced circularly polarized luminescence. The TEM and AFM images show that P-1 self-assembled into helical nanofibers during aggregation.
Further assembly of helical self-assemblies is exploited to further boost the dissymmetry factor and obtain the largest magnification of circularly-polarized luminescence.
Right- and left-handed helical G-quartet nanostructures are synthesized for the first time simultaneously via 5′-guanosine monophosphate (GMP) self-assembly, and further applied as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) templates.
