Abstract

ABSTRACT Chiral conjugated materials stand at the forefront of organic electronics because of their chiroptical properties and spin‐filtering capabilities. Although chiral materials with intrinsic spins show significant promise for organic spintronics, their development remains challenging due to structural and assembly constraints. In this study, a series of quinoid molecules with intrinsic spins (QF n ) is developed and assembled into chiral supramolecular structures by blending with the chiral additive 1,1’‐binaphthyl‐2,2’‐diamine (BN). Chirality transfer is considered to occur through F···H–N hydrogen bonding, and succeeds only in fluorinated QF1 and QF2. Thermal annealing yields markedly different degrees of chirality amplification, depending on the molecular structure. Asymmetric QF1 forms stable co‐crystals with BN, resulting in a 30‐fold amplification of chirality with an absorption dissymmetry factor ( g abs ) of 1.23 × 10 −2 , whereas symmetric QF2 undergoes phase separation with minimal amplification. Notably, QF1+BN co‐crystals enable the first realization of magneto field‐effect transistors (m‐FETs) based on chiral assemblies possessing spins. This system exhibits a clear mirror image of spin polarization (SP) of ∼7% by enantiomers, demonstrating the chirality‐induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect. These findings provide foundational insights into the chiral assembly of spin‐bearing molecules and the chirality–spin relationship, advancing the field of organic spintronics.
