    1. To amplify chirality by the reconstruction of hydrogen-bonding interactions in cellulose.

      A scale-up process to produce circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescent (CP-RTP) materials.

      The gabs and glum of CP-RTP materials were as high as 0.48 and 0.16, respectively.

      CP-RTP materials showed a visual recognition performance to many enantiomers.

  • Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials have attracted great attention because of their rich optical information and excellent sensitivity. However, the strategy to prepare CPL materials with a high dissymmetry factor (g) is still limited. Herein, we demonstrate a facile route to scale up the fabrication of circularly polarized organic room-temperature phosphorescent (CP-RTP) materials with a high g value, outstanding flexibility and complete biodegradability, via the reconstruction and enhancement of hydrogen-bonding interactions of cellulose. The absorption dissymmetry factor (gabs) and luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of the CP-RTP materials are as high as 0.48 and 0.16, respectively, which are one or two orders of magnitude larger than previous records. These cellulose-based CP-RTP materials have full-color emission, and can be processed into different format. In particular, the CP-RTP materials exhibit chiral recognition performance in an instrument-free visual mode. They give a change of RTP performance once meeting different enantiomers, including lysine, histidine, cysteine, 2-chloromandelic acid, and 1-(2-naphthyl) ethanol. The novel strategy and new CP-RTP materials could promote the enrichment and practical applications of CPL materials.
