Finely controlled circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) supramolecular polymerization based on a tetraphenylethene core with four l‐ or d‐alanine branch side chains (l‐1 and d‐1) in the solution state is presented, resulting from the tuning of mechanical stimulus. Weak, green emissions of l‐1 and d‐1 in tetrahydrofuran (THF) were converted into strong blue emissions by tuning the mechanical stimulus. The strong blue emissions were caused by an aggregation‐induced emission (AIE) effect during the formation of a supramolecular polymer. Lag time in the supramolecular polymerization was drastically reduced by the mechanical stimulus, which was indicative of the acceleration of the supramolecular polymerization. A significant enhancement of circular dichroism (CD) and CPL signals of l‐1 and d‐1 was observed by tuning the rotational speed of the mechanical stimulus, implying that the chiral supramolecular polymerization was accelerated by the mechanical stimulus.
The nanoparticles were transformed into the supramolecular polymer as the thermodynamic product, involving a helical inversion from left-handed to right-handed helicity.
The authors of this Communication wish to provide additional images and explanations for better readability of Figure S11. The revised Figure S11 is made available online as Supporting Information for this Corrigendum. The authors also propose that this supramolecular polymerization kinetics might be related to the heterogeneity, which is known in typical polymer reactions. These changes do not alter the conclusions of the Communication. The authors sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.
