Circularly Polarized Luminescence of [6]Helicenes through Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer


Göbel, Dominik; Míguez‐Lago, Sandra; Ruedas‐Rama, Maria Jose; Orte, Angel; Campaña, Araceli G; Juricek, Michal (2022). Circularly Polarized Luminescence of [6]Helicenes through Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer. Helvetica Chimica Acta, 105(4):e202100221.

Abstract

We present the concept of combining circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) features into a single molecule as a strategy to generate high-performance ESIPT-based CPL materials. For this purpose, a [6]helicene bearing two ESIPT structural units was synthesized using a double Suzuki–Miyaura reaction and a double C(sp2)−H hydroxylation approach. The photophysical properties of the doubly hydroxylated [6]helicene were studied in parallel with a non-hydroxylated [6]helicene control compound, revealing that the presence of a chiral [6]helicene unit results in a strong CPL response and the presence of the ESIPT units in a considerable red shift. The red-shifted emission along with the outstanding glum (≈10−2) and a large Stokes shift makes the doubly hydroxylated [6]helicene a promising candidate for use in optoelectronics.
