Luminescent Donor‐Acceptor Radical With Propeller Chirality: Bright and Photostable Red Circularly Polarized Luminescence and Whispering Gallery Mode Resonance

ABSTRACT Luminescent radicals are an emerging class of materials for organic electronics, bioimaging, and quantum applications. Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from luminescent radicals with propeller‐type chirality remains challenging because it is difficult to simultaneously achieve high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), high stability, and high racemization barriers. A series of brominated chiral luminescent radicals, CzTTBrM, 2CzTTBrM, and 3CzTTBrM, was obtained by attaching carbazole donors to TTBrM. The donor‐acceptor‐type design induces red to near‐infrared (NIR) emission via charge transfer (CT) excited states with remarkably high PLQY (up to 76%) and high photostability. The new radicals possess high racemization barriers (Δ G ‡ (353K) = 27.9–29.1 kcal/mol), allowing the isolation of enantiopure compounds at room temperature. The enantiopure radicals exhibit CPL with broad emission across the red to NIR range (650–800 nm) and display B CPL values (0.76–1.1), nearly one order of magnitude higher than that of TTBrM (B CPL = 0.16). Moreover, doping these radicals into polystyrene microspheres produces whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonances, marking the first observation of WGM emission from luminescent radicals. This strategy establishes a versatile platform for integrating spin, chirality, and luminescence, offering new opportunities for applications in electroluminescence, bioimaging, and quantum photonics.
