背景概述
刺激响应材料能够在环境条件(如光、温度、湿度、pH、电场、磁场、应力等)的细微扰动下表现出显著的性质变化。在诸多刺激性响应材料体系中,刺激性响应发光材料兼具灵敏度高、选择性强、非破坏性、检测可视化等优势,因而备受青睐。
有机–无机杂化金属卤化物 (hybrid organic–inorganic metal halides, HOMHs) 因存在弱的离子键、低的形成能、灵活多变的晶体结构以及多重激发态,其自组装体系在接触到各种外界刺激时容易引起光学性质的变化,因而成为一类理想的刺激响应发光材料中。
手性低维 HOMHs 结合了手性材料和低维 HOMHs 材料二者的优势,拓展了其在手性光电子学以及非线性光学等领域的应用。因此,得益于其 CPL 发射以及多刺激性响应行为,手性低维 HOMHs 为CPL 的智能调控以及多维度的刺激性响应材料的发展开辟了新的可能。
然而,目前人们对于兼具多刺激响应和 CPL发射的金属卤化物材料的相关研究仍不足,其潜在的应用价值仍值得探索。

近日,南开大学徐加良研究员课题组采用阳离子自组装的策略,利用冠醚分子与有机手性胺阳离子之间的主-客体相互作用,成功锚定了手性配体,制备出一对具有多刺激性响应荧光发射行为的手性锑卤化物 R-/S-Sb。
该工作中,冠醚分子与手性阳离子的自组装行为不仅提供了丰富的氢键网络,同时也有效地隔离了[SbCl6]3− 无机八面体,降低了非辐射复合,提升了 PL 效率【PLQY = 51.6%(白光)和87.2%(橙光)】。自组装后的 A 位阳离子在未破坏整体手性构型的前提下,通过非对称的氢键相互作用成功地把手性转移到无机骨架上,诱发了显著的晶格畸变,实现了高效的 CPL 发射 (|glum| ≥ 5.2 × 10−3)。该材料对激发波长以及环境温度表现出灵敏的响应,可实现由蓝光—黄白光—橙光的可逆切换。
