Synthesis and Characterization of Multilayer 3D Chiral Polymers with Enhanced Optical Properties

This study reports the synthesis of novel multilayer 3D chiral polymers using 2,2′-(2,7-Naphthalenediyl)bis[4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane] and 1,8-dibronaphthalene along with its derivatives as key precursors. Comprehensive characterization was performed using nuclear magnetic resonance (N...

description This study reports the synthesis of novel multilayer 3D chiral polymers using 2,2′-(2,7-Naphthalenediyl)bis[4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane] and 1,8-dibronaphthalene along with its derivatives as key precursors. Comprehensive characterization was performed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC), photoluminescence, ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polarimetry, dynamic light scattering (DLS), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Notably, the polymers exhibited remarkable aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and aggregation-induced polarization (AIP) phenomena, revealing enhanced luminescence and optical activity in aggregated states. These findings underscore the potential of these chiral polymers for applications in optoelectronics and advanced sensing technologies, highlighting the intricate relationship between molecular structure and optical behavior.
