Nonclassical tunability of solid-state CD and CPL properties of a chiral 2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid/amine supramolecular organic fluorophore.

The solid-state chiral optical properties (circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence) of a 2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid/amine supramolecular organic fluorophore can be controlled by changing the aryl unit of the chiral 1-arylethylamine component of the molecule rather than altering the chirality of the 1-arylethylamine itself.

Control of the solid-state chiral optical properties of a supramolecular organic fluorophore containing 4-(2-arylethynyl)-benzoic acid.

The solid-state chiral optical properties of a 4-(2-arylethynyl)-benzoic acid/amine supramolecular organic fluorophore can be controlled by changing the arylethynyl group of the achiral 4-(2-arylethynyl)-benzoic acid component molecule rather than the chirality of the amine component molecule.
