Abstract

Herein, we report the influence of solvent on the self-assembly of a dinuclear helicate, (NMe4)2[Eu2(LR)4]. A multiple species mixture with the chemical composition of [Eu2(LR)2n]n- present in CH3CN can be transformed into a helicate upon increasing the content of CHCl3, accompanied by a significant enhancement in circularly polarized luminescence activity.
