Our first paper dealing with a simple molecule landed in Adv Sci!
We show that BINAP can form chiral molecular glasses. Circularly polarised emission and quantum yield jump drastically upon vitrification.
Big cheers to the Steffen group for contributing the photophysics.

Melt-quenching of enantiopure BINAP yields transparent chiral molecular glasses that retain axial chirality and display blue-shifted luminescence together with strongly enhanced circularly polarized ...
