ABSTRACT
Optically active linear polyurethane and a cyclic dimer were synthesized from 2,7-diisocyanatofluorene and 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthyl. The circular dichroism (CD) spectral intensity of the polymer was amplified at a higher concentration through aggregate formation, while circularly polarized light (CPL) emission was not enhanced. The cyclic dimer's CPL emission was largely amplified (glum 1.1 × 10-2) due to intermolecular excimer formation through aggregation, while the CD intensity was not affected.

This paper reports the first magnetic circularly polarized luminescence (MCPL) characteristics of racemic helicenes, including four unsubstituted [n]helicenes (n=3,4,5,7) and two [4]helicene derivatives bearing methoxy substituents, in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solutions. The value of |gMCPL | was calculated to be of the order of 10-3 â T-1 within 350-430â nm under the north-up (N-up) and south-up (S-up) Faraday geometries in an external magnetic field of 1.6â T. The [n]-dependent MCPL signs were altered by the N-up and S-up geometries.
ABSTRACT
Diamagnetic achiral pyrene and phenanthrene derivatives substituted with electron-donating hydroxyl/methoxy groups and electron-withdrawing carboxylic acid groups exhibited clear magnetic circularly polarised luminescence (MCPL) spectra at 360-460 nm in dilute solvents upon the application of N-up and S-up Faraday geometries under an external magnetic field of 1.6 T. Their MCPL signs were also susceptible upon application of the same Faraday geometry.
ABSTRACT
Although 12 diamagnetic fused aromatics with or without substituents exhibit mirror-symmetric magnetic circularly polarised luminescence (MCPL) through N-up and S-up Faraday geometries under a magnetic field intensity of 1.6 T, their signs (single and multiple) and magnitudes depend strongly on either the aromatic structures or the peripheral positions of the substituents.
