Novel Means of Controlling the Solid-State Circular Dichroism Property in a Supramolecular Organic Fluorophore Comprising 4-[2-(Methylphenyl)ethynyl]benzoic Acid by Varying the Position of the Methyl
The solid-state circular dichroism (CD) of a 4-[2-(methylphenyl)ethynyl]benzoic acid/amine supramolecular organic fluorophore can be controlled by changing the position of the methyl substituent of the methylphenylethynyl unit on the achiral 4-[2-(methylphenyl)ethynyl]benzoic acid component molecule, instead of changing the chirality of the chiral amine component molecule.
