Reaction-based chiroptical sensing of ClO⁻ using circularly polarized luminescence <i>via</i> self-assembly organogel

By covalent combination of a chiral amino acid, lipid, and achiral phenothiazine derivative, a reaction-based chiroptical probe, PTZ-D, was obtained. PTZ-D could self-assemble into a chiral organogel realizing the chirality transformation from a chiral amino acid to a self-assembled system and displaying unprecedented chiroptical monitoring of ClO- with switchable CPL signals.
