Chiral Zero‐Dimensional Hybrid Antimony Chloride with Circularly Polarized Luminescence and Solvent‐Induced Property Regulation
In this study, we synthesized two pairs of enantiomeric Sb<sup>3+</sup>-based 0D chiral hybrid metal halides (HMHs), (R/S-3AP)<sub>4</sub>SbCl<sub>11</sub>⋅DMF and (R/S-3AP)<sub>4</sub>SbCl<sub>11</sub>⋅ACN, which exhibit efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emissions with distinct optical properties influenced by the solvent environment. (R/S-3AP)<sub>4</sub>SbCl<sub>11</sub>⋅DMF displays bright orange luminescence with a photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of 57.1 %, while (R/S-3AP)<sub>4</sub>SbCl<sub>11</sub>⋅ACN emits red luminescence with a PLQY of 17.4 %. Notably, (R/S-3AP)<sub>4</sub>SbCl<sub>11</sub>⋅ACN achieves a maximum dissymmetry factor (|g<sub>lum</sub>|) of 2.27×10<sup>-3</sup>, attributed to strong hydrogen bonding between organic and inorganic components. Reversible transformations between these two phases via solvent vapor stimulation enable dynamic photoluminescence (PL) switching, highlighting their application in anti-counterfeiting technology. Furthermore, circularly polarized light-emitting devices (CPL-emitting devices) based on these materials were fabricated, achieving a maximum |g<sub>lum</sub>| of 2.01×10<sup>-3</sup>. These findings underscore the potential of these chiral HMHs for advanced applications in chiral optoelectronics, anti-counterfeiting, and CPL-emitting devices.
