Recently, the innovation team of crystalline molecular functional materials led by Prof. Shuangquan Zang, School of Chemistry, ZZU has made positive progress in the field of luminous chiral currency metal clusters. Their research fruit, entitled “Photo-responsive propeller-like chiral AIE Cu（I） clusters” was published in the top chemistry journal German Applied Chemistry （Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.; IF ＝ 12.257）. The first author is PhD student Kong Yujin, and the corresponding authors are Prof. Shuangquan Zang and associate professor Li Kai. Currency metal clusters with aggregation-induced luminescence （AIE） characteristics show broad application prospects in the fields of signal sensing, bio-imaging, etc., due to their good luminescence performance and diverse stimulus response performance. In this work, a chiral ligand （R/S）-2,2’-bis（di-p-tolylphosphine）-1,1’-binaphthyl was combined with monovalent copper to obtain a chiral AIE copper cluster molecule. It shows unique light response performance and circularly polarized luminescence performance, and has been successfully applied to photodynamic therapy. The work is another new breakthrough made by the team in recent years and was supported by the National Outstanding Youth Fund Project, the National Natural Science Foundation General Project, the Henan Provincial Department of Education Innovation Team Project, the Henan Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Talent Project, and the ZZU Special Fund.
