Diether-Based Chiral Multilayered 3D Polymers and Oligomers: Unveiling AIE and AIP Phenomena

In this study, the synthesis of a novel chiral multilayer 3D polymer based on a diether structure is reported. This architecture not only imparts chirality but also facilitates the study of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and aggregation-induced polarization (AIP). Using various polymerization techniques, multilayered chiral structures are constructed that exhibit significant AIE, marked by increased luminescence upon aggregation, and notable AIP behavior, indicating enhanced optical activity. Comprehensive characterization through spectroscopy and microscopy elucidates the mechanisms behind these phenomena. These findings highlight the potential of diether-based chiral multilayer 3D polymers for advanced optoelectronic and sensor applications, paving the way for multifunctional materials.
