Abstract:
A design strategy for preparing circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials is proposed by utilizing the intermolecular interactions between chiral polymeric hosts and non-chiral TADF emitters to achieve chirality transfer. A single-handed helical polymer, poly-DMAC, is successfully designed and synthesized, which serves as a universal chiral host to induce circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). By blending poly-DMAC with four TADF emitters, full-color stable CPL emission ranging from blue-green to orange-red is achieved, with a maximum asymmetric factor reaching the order of 10-3. This research demonstrates that through a simple blending method, chiral polymer hosts enable non-chiral TADF emitters to achieve full-color and unidirectional CPL emission, highlighting the promising prospects of helical polymers for CPL applications.

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
