Controlling the photophysics of double helicenes is facilely achieved by variation of the terminal aromatic rings. Compared to the thiadiazole-fused and all-carbon analogs, triazole-fused double helicene shows significantly enhanced emission with near-unity quantum yield, and high circularly polarized luminescence brightness of up to 30.1 M−1 cm−1, as well as excellent ambipolar redox behavior.
Abstract
We present here the synthesis and in-depth physicochemical characterization of a double hetero[7]helicene fused with four triazole rings at both helical ends. The comparison of this triazole-fused double helicene with the previously reported all-carbon and thiadiazole-fused analogs revealed the huge impact of the embedded aromatic rings on the photophysical features. The small structural variation of the terminal rings from thiadiazole to triazole caused a dramatic change of the photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) from <1 % to 96 %, while the replacement of the terminal benzene rings with triazole rings induced a tenfold enhancement of the circularly polarized luminescence dissymmetry factor. These observations were well corroborated with transient absorption analysis and/or theoretic calculations. In addition, the triazole-fused double helicene exhibited ambipolar redox behavior, enabling the generation of radical cation and anion species by electrochemical and chemical methods and showing its potential for spin-related applications.
