A chiral dinuclear Zn(II)-complex based on chiral Salen-type
Schiff base ligands (R, R / S, S-L) and its preparation method, along with its application in electro-induced circularly polarized
luminescence, were presented. With changes in the configuration of the chiral Salen-type
Schiff base ligands, this type of chiral dinuclear Zn(II)-complex exhibited different light colors in the visible region. At
room temperature, the chiral dinuclear Zn(II)-complex developed based on chiral Salen-type
Schiff base ligands introduced by the methoxy (-OMe) functional group showed maximum emission peaks of 467 and 462 nm in CH2Cl2 solution, with CIE coordinates of (0.156, 0.192) and (0.158, 0.190), respectively, located in the
blue light emission region. It exhibited a strong ground-state chiral
signal and Cotton effect, with an
asymmetry factor |g PL |~10 ‑4 The electroluminescent devices CP-
OLED-R,R-II and CP-
OLED-S,S-II all have a start-up
voltage of 6V. Their maximum emission wavelengths for electro-polarized emission are 488nm and 496nm, respectively, with CIE coordinates located in the
blue light region at (0.288, 0.305) and (0.283, 0.304), respectively. The maximum current efficiency of CP-
OLED-R,R-II is 0.90cd / A, the maximum power efficiency is 0.47lm / W, and the maximum external
quantum efficiency is 0.43%. The maximum current efficiency of CP-OLED-S,S-II is 0.83cd / A, the maximum power efficiency is 0.40lm / W, and the maximum external
quantum efficiency is 0.38%. The
