Front Cover: Near‐Infrared Circularly Polarized Luminescence through Intramolecular Excimer Formation of Oligo(p‐phenyleneethynylene)‐Based Double Helicates (Chem. Eur. J. 39/2019)

Abstract

Carbon‐based double helicates consisting of oligo(p‐phenyleneethynylene)s and “flexible” 2,2’‐binaphthyls or “rigid” 9,9′‐spirobifluorenes were synthesized. The “rigid” double helicate acts as a bright macrocyclic fluorophore. The “flexible” double helicate forms a tightly interlocked intramolecular excimer under photoirradiation, emitting near‐infrared circularly polarized luminescence with high dissymmetry factor value.
