Solvent‐Regulated CPL Enhancement via Chiral Transfer in Efficient Luminescent Ionic Hydrogen‐Bonded Frameworks for Information Encryption

Researchers introduced a multistage chiral‑transfer strategy that leverages hydrogen‑bond bridges to build ionic hydrogen‑bonded organic frameworks (R/S‑iHOF‑40). The new material exhibits a record‑high circularly polarized luminescence quantum yield of 67.8%, far surpassing the 5.41% of the parent HOF. Structural analysis reveals a double‑helix supramolecular assembly and a strong mirror cotton effect, confirming efficient intermolecular chiral transfer. Additionally, the motion of water molecules within the framework dynamically regulates the CPL intensity, highlighting hydrogen‑bond dynamics as a tuning knob for optical performance.
