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.engAtribución-NoComercial 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/journal articlehttps://doi.org/10.1021/ja412294sopen access543.544537.867543.426ChromophoresDyes and pigmentsLuminescenceOrganic compoundsVinylOptica (Química)Química orgánica (Química)Materiales ópticos2306 Química Orgánica2209.14 Propiedad ópticas de los sólidos
