Amino-Acid-Induced Circular Polarized Luminescence in One-Dimensional Manganese(II) Halide Hybrid.

Circular polarized luminescence (CPL)-active materials attract great attentions owing to their widely applications in 3D optical displays and encrypted transmission. Inspired by the strategies adopted in perovskite based CPL materials, herein, CPL-active hybrids (D)- and (L)-(tert-butyl prolinate)MnCl 3 were successfully prepared by assembling chiral D/L tert-butyl prolinate with manganese (II) chloride. Single crystal structures show the as-formed hybrids possess one-dimensional (1D) structure containing linear chains of face-sharing MnCl 6 octahedral surrounded by prolinate cations. The 1D Mn(II) hybrids display strong red emission peaked at 646 nm with PLQY of 67.1 % and 57.2 % for d-type and l-type, respectively, representing the highest PLQY for 1D Mn II hybrids. Interestingly, the 1D Mn(II) hybrids exhibit prominent circular dichroism (CD) signals and remarkable CPL activity with the dissymmetry factor g of 6.1*10 -3 and -6.3*10 -3 from 550 to 800 nm for (D)- and (L)-(tert-butyl prolinate)MnCl 3 , respectively, owing to the existence of chiral cations. It is worthy noted the obtained g represents the highest value for non-lead organic-inorganic hybrids.
