Enantioresolution turns bright but racemic gold-silver clusters into circularly polarized emitters

Chiral metal clusters that emit circularly polarized light often face a trade-off between photoluminescence efficiency and luminescence dissymmetry.

Chiral metal clusters that emit circularly polarized light often face a trade-off between photoluminescence efficiency and luminescence dissymmetry. A study published in the journal Advanced Optical Materials tested whether highly luminescent racemic carbon-centered gold(I)-silver(I) clusters could be converted into bright CPL emitters by enantioresolution with chiral donor ligands.
