Circularly Polarized Luminescence of Isolated Small Organic Molecules

The book "Circularly Polarized Luminescence of Isolated Small Organic Molecules" offers a comprehensive collection of the latest advancements in research on circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of small organic molecules. Compared to lanthanide-based fluorophores, research on CPL in small organic molecules is still in the developmental phase, as their asymmetry factors are relatively smaller. Nevertheless, this topic has gained increasing importance in the scientific community. The book discusses the latest discoveries in CPL of organic molecules such as helicenes, biaryls, cyclophanes, and boron-dipyrromethene dyes, as well as other chiral molecules that are predominantly studied in isolated states. Additionally, it highlights recent developments in CPL instruments and time-resolved circular dichroism spectroscopy to support the future development and design of CPL molecules.
