Strong Circularly‐Polarized Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence from a Feasibly Separable Scaffold of Bidibenzo[b,d]furan with Locked Axial Chirality

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Novel accessible scaffold featuring circularly-polarized room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) is attractive but challenging. Herein, we report a new feasibly separable bidibenzo[b,d]furan compound with strong circularly-polarized RTP when doping into the rigid polymer matrix. The simple silica-gel column can separate the absolute chiral R-isomer with excellent chiroptical properties. The experimental data reveal that the treated films exhibit an RTP efficiency of 14.8 %, a largest dissymmetric factor of 0.12, and a longest lifetime of 0.56 s under ambient conditions. It is found that reducing the nonradiative decays boosts the intrinsic circularly-polarized RTP emission. The impressive results indicate that the locked axial chirality skeleton endows the potential of achieving superior circularly-polarized emission for the small organic optoelectronic molecules.
