Supramolecular polymerization of [6]helicene-based cyano-luminogens: on the overall efficiency of self-assembled circularly polarized emitters

The supramolecular polymerization of the [6]helicene-based luminophores 1 and 2 , showing a rich dichroic pattern, is reported. The inherent chirality of both the monomeric and aggregated species of 1 and 2 provides the systems with a remarkable overall CPL-efficiency.
