Item Circularly Polarized Luminescence by Visible-Light Absorption in a Chiral O-BODIPY Dye: Unprecedented Design of CPL Organic Molecules from Achiral Chromophores(Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2014) Márquez Sánchez-Carnerero, Esther María; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Ortíz García, María Josefa; Vo, Bryan G.; Muller, Gilles; Moya Cerero, Santiago de laCircularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in simple (small, nonaggregated, nonpolymeric) O-BODIPYs(R)-1 and (S)-1 by irradiation with visible light is first detected as proof of the ability of a new structural design to achieve CPL from inherently achiral monochromophore systems in simple organic molecules. The measured level of CPL (|glum|) in solution falls into the usual range of that obtained from other simple organic molecules (10−5−10−2range), but the latter having more complex architectures since axially chiral chromophores or multichromophore systems are usually required. The new design is based on chirally perturbing the acting achiral chromophore by orthogonally tethering a single axially chiral 1,1′-binaphtyl moiety to it. The latter does not participate as a chromophore in the light-absorption/emission phenom-enon. This simple design opens up new perspectives for the future development of new small-sized CPL organic dyes (e.g., those based on other highly luminescent achiral chromophores and/or chirally perturbing moieties), as well as for the improvement of the CPL properties of the organic molecules spanning their use in photonic applications.Item Chiral Organic Dyes Endowed with Circularly Polarized Laser Emission(Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2017) Jiménez González, Josué; Cerdán Pedraza, Luis; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Maroto, Beatriz Lora; García Moreno, Inmaculada; Lunkley, Jamie L.; Muller, Gilles; Moya Cerero, Santiago de laThe direct generation of efficient, tunable, and switchable circularly polarized laser emission (CPLE) would have far-reaching implications in photonics and material sciences. In this paper, we describe the first chiral simple organic molecules (SOMs) capable of simultaneously sustaining significant chemical robustness, high fluorescence quantum yields, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) ellipticity levels (|glum|) comparable to those of similar CPL-SOMs. All these parameters altogether enable efficient laser emission and CPLE with ellipticity levels 2 orders of magnitude stronger than the intrinsic CPL ones.Item BINOLated aminostyryl BODIPYs: a workable organic molecular platform for NIR circularly polarized luminescence(Chemical Communications, 2021) Jiménez González, Josué; Díaz Norambuena, Carolina; Serrano Villar, Sergio; Ma, Shing Cho; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Maroto, Beatriz Lora; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Muller, Gilles; Moya Cerero, Santiago de laThe accessible at-boron-BINOLated 3,5-bis(4-aminostyryl)ated BODIPY scaffold is highlighted as a workable platform for developing enantiopure small organic molecules exhibiting CPL in the NIR region, even in water solution, the latter being key for CPL-based bioapplications. Synthetic simplicity, noticeable chiroptical efficiency in the NIR and the possibility to access water-soluble emitters pave the way for advancing CPL tools based on organic emitters and NI radiation.Item Modulating ICT emission: a new strategy to manipulate the CPL sign in chiral emitters(Chemical Communications, 2019) Jiménez González, Josué; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Maroto, Beatriz Lora; Cabreros, Trevor A.; Huy, Angelenia S.; Muller, Gilles; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Moya Cerero, Santiago de laA new strategy to manipulate the circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) handedness in chiral emitters, based on modulating the population of an emissive ICT state, is proposed. Such a strategy is particularly interesting for conformationally rigid and non-aggregating chiral organic emitters, opening up new perspectives for the development of CPL application based on organic moleculesItem BOPHYs versus BODIPYs: A comparison of their performance as effective multi-function organic dyes(Dyes and Pigments, 2019) Sola Llano, Rebeca; Jiménez, J.; Avellanal Zaballa, Edurne; Johnson, M.; Cabreros, Trevor A.; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Maroto, Beatriz Lora; Muller, Gilles; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Cerdán Pedraza, Luis; García Moreno, Inmaculada; Moya Cerero, Santiago de laThe computationally-aided photophysical and lasing properties of a selected battery of BOPHYs are described and compared to those of related BODIPY counterparts. The present joined theoretical-experimental study helps to put into context the weaknesses and strengths of both dye families under different irradiation conditions. The chemical versatility of the BOPHY scaffold has been also comparatively explored to modulate key photonic properties towards the development of red-emitting dyes, chiroptical dyes and singlet oxygen photosensitizers. Thus, BOPHY BINOLation by fluorine substitution with enantiopure BINOLs endows the BOPHY chromophore with chiroptical activity, as supporting by the simulated circular dichroism, decreasing deeply its fluorescent response due to the promotion of fluorescence-quenching intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). Interestingly, the sole alkylation of the BOPHY core strongly modulates the promotion of ICT, allowing the generation of highly bright BINOL-based BOPHY dyes. Moreover, 3,3′ dibromoBINOLating BOPHYs can easily achieve singlet-oxygen photogeneration, owing to spin-orbit coupling mediated by heavy-atom effect feasible in view of the theoretically predicted disposition of the bromines surrounding the chromophore. From this background, we have established the master guidelines to design bright fluorophores and laser dyes, photosensitizers for singlet oxygen production and chiroptical dyes based on BOPHYs. The possibility to finely mix and balance such properties in angiven molecular scaffold outstands BOPHYs as promising dyes competing with the well-settled BODIPY dyesItem Bis(haloBODIPYs) with Labile Helicity: Valuable Simple Organic Molecules That Enable Circularly Polarized Luminescence(Chemistry: a european journal, 2016) Ray Leiva, César; Márquez Sánchez-Carnerero, Esther María; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Ortiz García, María Josefa; López Arbeloa, Íñigo María; Bañuelos Prieto, Jorge; Cohovi, Komlan D.; Lunkley, jamie L.; Muller, Gilles; Moya Cerero, Santiago De LaSimple organic molecules (SOM) based on bis(haloBODIPY) are shown to enable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), giving rise to a new structural design for technologically valuable CPL-SOMs. The established design comprises together synthetic accessibility, labile helicity, possibility of reversing the handedness of the circularly polarized emission, and reactive functional groups, making it unique and attractive as advantageous platform for the development of smart CPL-SOMs.Item Circularly Polarized Luminescence from Simple Organic Molecules(Chemistry: a european journal, 2015) Márquez Sánchez-Carnerero, Esther María; Rodríguez Agarrabeitia, Antonia; Moreno Jiménez, Florencio; Lora Maroto, Beatriz; Muller, Gilles; Ortiz García, María Josefa; Moya Cerero, Santiago De LaThis article aims to show the identity of “circularly polarized luminescent active simple organic molecules” as a new concept in organic chemistry due to the potential interest of these molecules, as availed by the exponentially growing number of research articles related to them. In particular, it describes and highlights the interest and difficulty in developing chiral simple (small and non-aggregated) organic molecules able to emit left- or right-circularly polarized light efficiently, the efforts realized up to now to reach this challenging objective, and the most significant milestones achieved to date. General guidelines for the preparation of these interesting molecules are also presented.
