One-pot asymmetric living copolymerization-induced chiral self-assemblies and circularly polarized luminescence

Abstract

Well-defined block copolymers containing helical poly(acyl methane) and π-conjugated poly(phenylene ethynylene)s were facilely prepared, which self-assembly into chiral supramolecular architectures with circularly polarized luminescence.

Precise Construction of Chiral Plasmonic Nanoparticles for Enantioselective Discrimination

“…Chirality, referring to the property of a molecule or object that cannot be superimposed with its mirror image, has been employed in various fields. − By introduction of such an asymmetric property at the nanoscale, the corresponding nanomaterials could be employed in optoelectronic devices, asymmetric catalysts, biological imaging, information storage, medical diagnosis, and so on.…”
