Photoexcited state chirality transfer. Hidden tunability of circularly polarized luminescent binaphthyl-anthracene tandem molecular systems

Circularly polarized luminescent properties of C2-symmetrical binaphthyl molecular systems bearing two achiral anthracenes as luminophores were tuned by solely exploiting photoexcited-state chirality transfer from the binaphthyl to anthracenes when open-or closed-type binaphthyl structure as non-luminophore were chosen.
