Abstract:
Two single-handed helical tetraphenylethylene-silica nanotubes with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties and enhanced fluorescence efficiency were fabricated through a supramolecular templating approach using the self-assemblies of chiral gelators as templates. This work provides a facile strategy for constructing CPL-active organic-inorganic hybrid nanomaterials with single-handed helical morphologies.
