Sumario:The general approach for fabricating solid-state materials showing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is still in its challenge. In this work, chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with full-color and white-color circularly polarized light emission are firstly achieved through a host-guest emitter-loading strategy. Chiral zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs, a class of MOFs) are fabricated by a facile and simple mixed-ligand coassembly pathway. Meantime, achiral dyes, quantum dots (QDs), and upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) are easily loaded into the chiral ZIFs during the synthetic process. Size-matched dyes can be solely encapsulated into the chiral cages of ZIF, resulting in induced CPL and enhanced luminescence efficiency in solid-state ZIF⊃dye composites. Large-sized QDs, after embedding into the gap of the ZIF particles, also exhibited intense CPL activity. Furthermore, through modulating the blending ratio of colored dyes or QDs in chiral ZIFs, white light-emitting ZIFs with circular polarization could be constructed in a solid state. In addition, through loading rare earth element-based upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) into chiral ZIFs, upconverted CPL (UC-CPL) could be achieved with a high dissymmetry factor (g(lum)). Thus, various achiral luminophores were endowed with CPL upon coupling with chiral ZIFs, which significantly deepened and enlarged the research scope of the chiroptical materials in a solid state.
