This work describes the first thermally activated delayed fluorescence material enabling circularly polarized light emission through chiral perturbation. These new molecular architectures obtained through a scalable one-pot sequential synthetic procedure at room temperature (83% yield) display high quantum yield (up to 74%) and circularly polarized luminescence with an absolute luminescence dissymmetry factor, |glum|, of 1.3 × 10−3. These chiral molecules have been used as an emissive dopant in an organic light emitting diode exhibiting external quantum efficiency as high as 9.1%.

The Lewis acid-mediated direct amination of benzylic alcohols is described, providing various benzylic amine derivatives in good yields under mild and environmentally benign conditions. Among the different Lewis acids tested, goldA C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (III) proved to be the catalyst of choice for both chemical (yield, conversion) and practical reasons (a filtration over a silica pad is generally sufficient to obtain the corresponding benzylic amine in analytically pure form).
