Abstract

A chiral anthracene fluorescence system was developed from achiral 2-anthracenecarboxylic acid and 1-naphthylmethylamine. Although chiral functional organic materials are usually prepared using chiral molecules, in this system, a chiral supramolecular organic fluorophore, which exhibited fluorescence in the solid state, was prepared from achiral molecular components.
