Front Cover: Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Schiff‐base [4]Helicene Boron Complexes (Chem. Asian J. 4/2024)

Helical boron difluoride complexes were synthesized and their photophysical properties were investigated. These complexes exhibited efficient blue to yellowish green photoluminescence under UV irradiation. Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) was observed from optically pure samples in solution and in the KBr pellet state, with luminescence dissymmetry factors (glum) up to 2.6×10−3. The dynamic helical inversion behavior of these complexes in solution were also analysed both experimentally and theoretically. On the cover, we designed a badminton player to look like the boron complexes studied in this work. More information can be found in the Research Article by Masahiro Ikeshita et al.
