Abstract

Abstract : Acid–base exposure switched circularly polarized luminescence was achieved in a coassembled gel which is composed of a chiral gelator and achiral perylene bisimide. Abstract : The orthogonal- or co-assembly of achiral perylene bisimide (PBI) with chiral gelators can be regulated by solvents. While the coassembly leads to the formation of chiroptical nanofibers through chirality transfer, the orthogonal assemblies could not. Moreover, protonation on the coassembled nanofibers could light up the circularly polarized luminescence (CPL).
