Abstract

We constructed chiral supramolecular nanofibers for light harvesting based on symmetry-breaking, and these can generate near-infrared circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) with high dissymmetry factor (glum) through a synergistic energy transfer and chirality transfer process. Firstly, the achiral molecule BTABA was assembled into a symmetry-breaking assembly using a seeded vortex strategy. Subsequently, the chiral assembly can endow the two achiral acceptors, Nile Red (NR) and Cyanine 7 (CY7), with supramolecular chirality, as well as chiroptical properties. CY7 can reach an excited state and emit near-infrared light through a cascade energy transfer process from BTABA to NR and then to CY7, but cannot directly acquire energy from the excited BTABA. Significantly, the near-infrared CPL of CY7 can be obtained with a boosted glum value of 0.03. This work will provide a deep insight into the preparation of materials with near-infrared CPL activity from an exclusively achiral system.
