Bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) Complex Chiroptical Wires: Exfoliation into Single Strands and Intensification of Circularly Polarized Luminescence
One-dimensional (1D) coordination polymers (CPs) experiences limitations in exfoliation into individual strands, which hamper their utility as functional 1D nanomaterials. Here we synthesize chiral 1D-CPs that feature the bis(dipyrrinato)zinc(II) complex motif. They can be exfoliated into single strands upon sonication in organic media, retaining lengths of up to 3.19 mu m (ca. 2600 monomer units). Their chiroptical structure allows the exfoliated wires to show circularly polarized luminescence at an intensity 5.9 times that of reference monomer complexes.
