摘要

Symmetry-breaking charge separation (SB-CS) processes hold significant importance during natural light harvesting and exhibit potential application in the field of organic semiconductors. However, the impact of SB-CS on the excited-state chirality has not yet been fully investigated. Herein, we combine femtosecond time-resolved circularly polarized luminescence (TRCPL) and transient absorption (TA) spectroscopy to study the excited state chirality dynamics of a chiral perylenediimide (Cy-PDI2). The extracted time-dependent emission dissymmetry factor glum(t) indicates that there is a one order of magnitude enhancement of its CPL emission after the SB-CS process. For the first time, the impact of SB-CS on the generation and evolution of excited state dynamics is revealed, and the underlying mechanism is proposed.
