摘要

Helicene-based materials hold substantial promise for circularly polarized light (CPL) detection owing to their large absorption asymmetry factors (gabs). However, their synthesis and chiral resolution remain experimentally challenging. Herein, we synthesized a pair of diastereoisomers: (SSSS)-diPDI-(S)-MP and (SSSS)-diPDI-(R)-MP, through synergistic chiral induction at both the imide and bay positions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that these (SSSS)-diPDI-(S)-MP and (SSSS)-diPDI-(R)-MP exhibit distinct angles between their electric and magnetic transition dipoles (130° and 61°, respectively), which gives rise to opposite gabs signals. The agreement between the simulated circular dichroism (CD) and the experimental data in the monomeric state further confirms that (SSSS)-diPDI-(S)-MP possesses an M-configuration and (SSSS)-diPDI-(R)-MP possesses a P-configuration. Thin film-based organic phototransistors (OPTs) fabricated using (SSSS)-diPDI-(S)-MP and (SSSS)-diPDI-(R)-MP also exhibit opposite photocurrent asymmetry factors (gph) of −0.26 and 0.25, respectively. Besides, the OPTs based on (SSSS)-diPDI-(R)-MP thin films enable sensitive CPL imaging application. Notably, this study not only presents a novel strategy for synthesizing helicene-based materials without the need for chiral resolution but also provides critical insights for the development of chiral optoelectronics.
