Abstract

The solid-state chiral optical properties of a 4-(2-arylethynyl)-benzoic acid/amine supramolecular organic fluorophore can be controlled by changing the arylethynyl group of the achiral 4-(2-arylethynyl)-benzoic acid component molecule rather than the chirality of the amine component molecule.
