Self-assembly of chiral dye molecules toward CPL active molecular systems
We are developing self-assembling supramolecular polymers of chiral dye molecules to achieve enhanced circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) on the basis of supramolecular chirality.

Chiral recognition on self-assembly

Angew. Chem. Ind. Ed., 2017, 56, 15053-15057.
Chiral bichromophoric molecules with a twisted structure exhibit highly selective chiral recognition on self-assemlby and co-assembly.
CPL photoswitch

J. Phys. Chem. Lett., 2018, 9, 2151-2157.
Photoresponsive tetra-thiazole with one-handed helical conformation was employed to tether emissive moieties. Photochromic reaction successfully modulated chiral arrangement and interactions between the emissive moieties to control the CPL activity.
