Abstract:
The regulation of interchromophoric interactions in multichromophoric systems is crucial for developing high-performance photofunctional materials. In this study, we present a novel self-assembly strategy to construct isomeric decker complexes, denoted as S1 and S2, which integrate disparate chromophores, achiral BODIPY and chiral binaphthyl moieties. This isomerization results in distinct chromophore packing modes. In the case of S1, the BODIPY and binaphthyl moieties are arranged in a relatively loose manner (∼6.0 Å), enabling efficient FRET and preserving the strong locally excited (LE) emission (Φ F = 91.3%) characteristic of the BODIPY unit. In contrast, for S2, the denser packing between the BODIPY and binaphthyl moieties (∼4.8 Å) leads to through-space charge transfer (TSCT) and weak charge transfer (CT) emissions (Φ F = 8.6%). Notably, only complex (R)/(S)-S1 shows mirror-image circular dichroism (CD) signals based on chirality transfer and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), as supported by TD-DFT calculations, which reveal that the binaphthyl moiety alters the angle between the electric transition dipole moment (μ) and the magnetic transition dipole moment (m).

Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
