A Chiral Propeller‐Shaped Triple Helicene Shows Multi‐Resonant Thermally Activated Delayed Fluorescence
Abstract Multi‐resonant thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR‐TADF) helicenes show great potential as chiral emitters due to their typically high photoluminescence quantum yield and that they emit circularly polarized luminescence. Here, a new propeller‐shaped chiral MR‐TADF helicene DiKTa3 , integrating three DiKTa moieties, was designed and synthesized aiming to achieve co‐parallel electronic and magnitude transition dipole moments that would lead to a high dissymmetry factor, g . It emits at λ PL of 491 nm, with a full width at half maximum of 52 nm and has a moderate Δ E ST value of 0.24 eV in toluene. The separated ( P,P,P ) enantiomer shows an absorption dissymmetry factor | g abs | of 6.8×10 −4 at 450 nm, which results from a lower symmetry conformation adopted by the compound in solution than the C 3 ‐symmetric optimized structure. This work highlights the strong influence that geometry can have on the chiroptical properties of the emitter.
