Abstract

Versatile stimuli-responsive circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) materials have potential applications in information storage, security encryption, and intelligent displays. In this study, the Z/E isomerization of ultraviolet (UV)-photosensitive achiral α-cyanostilbene derivative was used as an achiral dichroic dye (Switch) to drive the controllable CPL-active response in cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs). Under irradiation by 365 nm UV light, the resulting CLCs-Z-Switch underwent a Z-to-E configuration isomerization as CLCs-E-Switch, accompanied by a decrease in its dichroic order parameter (S_F value) from 0.15 to 0.07. Although the quantum yield (QY) of CLCs-E-Switch increased from 8.1% (CLCs-Z-Switch) to 16.8%, the corresponding g_lum values of CPL emission decreased from +0.55/−0.57 to +0.37/−0.39 due to a decrease in the order of helical arrangement of E-Switch in E7 media. This study enables photosensitive CLCs-Switch to be applied for optical information storage devices.

通过胆甾烷液晶实现非手性紫外光敏感二色性染料驱动的可控 CPL 响应

多功能刺激响应型圆偏振发光（CPL）材料在信息存储、安全加密和智能显示方面具有潜在的应用价值。在这项研究中，利用对紫外线（UV）光敏的非手性α-氰基二苯乙烯衍生物的 Z/E 异构化作为非手性二色性染料（Switch），在胆甾液晶（CLC）中驱动可控的 CPL 活性响应。在 365 nm 紫外光照射下，生成的 CLCs-Z-Switch 发生了 Z 到 E 构型的异构化，成为 CLCs-E-Switch，同时其二色性阶次参数（SF 值）从 0.15 降至 0.07。虽然 CLCs-E-Switch 的量子产率（QY）从 8.1%（CLCs-Z-Switch）提高到了 16.8%，但由于 E-Switch 在 E7 介质中的螺旋排列顺序降低，CPL 发射的相应胶值从 +0.55/-0.57 降低到了 +0.37/-0.39。这项研究使光敏 CLCs-Switch 能够应用于光信息存储设备。
