Front Chem. 2021 Jan 15:8:557650. doi: 10.3389/fchem.2020.557650. eCollection 2020.

Abstract

Development of efficient ways of fabricating chiral light emitting materials is an active area of research due to the vast potential offered by these materials in the field of optoelectronic devices, data storage, and asymmetric synthesis. Among the various methods employed, template assisted generation of chiral luminescence is gaining enormous attention due to its simplicity, applicability over a wide range of fluorescent molecules/dyes, and the display of high anisotropic values.

Keywords: biomolecules; chiral gelators; chiral templates; circularly polarized luminescence; molecular aggregates; nematic liquid crystals.
