Abstract:
Enantiomerically pure Au nanoclusters exhibiting dual-emission corresponding to fluorescence and phosphorescence were synthesized by adopting a facile approach. Chiral luminescence was observed for the triplet emission leading to circularly polarized phosphorescence, both in solution and in solid states. The nanoclusters exhibited aggregation induced emission, and the aggregated clusters exhibited chiral phosphorescence.
