Co-assembling system that exhibits bright circularly polarized luminescence

We demonstrate that a co-assembling system comprising a nonchiral cyanine dye and an enantiomeric lysine-derived amphiphile assembly show circularly polarized luminescence with a high dissymmetry factor (|g(lum)| = 0.14) in combination with strong emission (quantum yield phi = 0.70, absorption coefficient epsilon = 3.7 x 10(5) M-1 cm(-1)). The circular polarization luminosity of the main transition band was calculated as 4.9 x 10(-2).

Automated summary

The study demonstrates a co-assembling system that exhibits circularly polarized luminescence with a high dissymmetry factor and strong emission. This could potentially lead to the development of light-sensitive molecules with practical applications.
