Abstract

The solid-state chiral optical properties (circular dichroism and circularly polarized luminescence) of a 2-naphthalenecarboxylic acid/amine supramolecular organic fluorophore can be controlled by changing the aryl unit of the chiral 1-arylethylamine component of the molecule rather than altering the chirality of the 1-arylethylamine itself.
