Abstract

Synthetically straightforward π-extension of helically chiral N,N,O,O-boron chelated borondipyrromethenes (BODIPYs) has been achieved by incorporation of naphthyl rings into the BODIPY 3- and 5-positions. The effect of this extension on the photophysical and chiroptical properties is strongly dependent on the regiochemistry of the naphthyl substituents (4 exo, 4 lin, 4 endo). The most helicene-like regioisomer 4 endo is a near infra-red (NIR) emitter (λemmax=751 nm) with an emission band between 675–875 nm, displaying circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) with a luminescence dissymmetry factor, |glum|=5.7×10−3 and CPL brightness, BCPL=27, rivalling the best NIR CPL-emitting small organic molecules reported to date.
