Chiral double stapled o-OPEs with intense circularly polarized luminescence†
Abstract
Intrinsically chiral double stapled ortho-oligo phenylene ethynylenes (o-OPEs) 1 show glum values up to 5.5 × 10−2, the second highest value ever observed for a simple organic molecule (SOM). DFT calculations of molecular spectra and properties encompassing electric and magnetic dipole transition moments account for these observations.
