Abstract
A highly emissive, optically active poly(diphenylacetylene) derivative, NpSi∗-PDPA, was synthesized by introducing a bulky chiral pendant group into the polymer chain. NpSi∗-PDPA exists in a glassy state having a highly disordered and amorphous structure. Hence, the fractional free volume is quite high, i.e., 0.29. NpSi∗-PDPA emits a green light in solution and a yellow light in film. This polymer is quite emissive, as the photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield is 56.1% in solution and 6.2% in film, and the PL lifetime is relatively long, 1.71 ns in solution and 1.05 ns in film. NpSi∗-PDPA shows the strongest circular dichroism (CD) signal at 384 nm, with a magnitude of circular polarization (gCD) of 0.90 × 10-3 and an optical rotation of 110° (4.30 × 10-3 g mL-1, in CHCl3). The CD intensity is significantly increased by annealing at 80 °C, reaching an equilibrium at gCD of 7.10 × 10-3 after 72 h.
