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.
A multi-color tunable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) xerogel film with a large luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) is achieved using a single compound upon protonation.
