Designed Syntheses of Chiral Iodo/Thiocyano Cuprous 3D Supramolecular Frameworks with Ferroelectricity and Circular Polarization Luminescence
摘要
A pair of chiral organophosphorus iodide ligands, R/S-2’-(diphenylphosphaneyl)-[1,1’-binaphthalen]-2-yl)(methyl)diphenylphosphonium iodide (abbreviated as R/S-MBINAP+I−), was designedly synthesized to react with CuSCN, forming a pair of chiral iodo/thiocyano cuprous three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular frameworks, R/S-[Cu2(SCN)2I(MBINAP)]n (abbreviated as R/S-1). The 3D architectures were constructed by the connection of [Cu2(SCN)2]n chains with I− and R/S-MBINAP+ ligands hanging on each side by coordination, through strong C–H···π interactions among the neighbouring chains, showing excellent thermal stability. R/S-1 displayed characteristic chiral property of circular dichroism with mirror-symmetric cotton effect. Moreover, R-1 exhibited fasinating ferroelectricity with Pr of 0.036 µC·cm− 2, Ec of 8.2 kV·cm− 1 and Ps of 0.13 µC·cm− 2. As expected, R/S-1 showed luminescence with relatively long lifetime of 569 us (R-1) and 568 us (S-1). Furthermore, R/S-1 exhibited good circular polarization luminescence (CPL) with glum being ± 3.0 × 10− 3. Theoretical calculations have been carried out to clarify the band structure of R-1. This work provides a new research strategy for the design and syntheses of chiral halogeno/pseudohalogeno cuprous polymers, and opens up a prospect for the multiple applications of chiral iodo/thiocyano cuprous materials.
