Giant intrinsic circular dichroism of prolinol-derived squaraine thin films

The use of chiral molecules for optoelectronics remains underexplored. Here, the authors perform Mueller matrix spectroscopy on thin films of enantiopure prolinol functionalized squaraines and report an extraordinarily high circular dichroism, thus providing a benchmark material for chiroptical appl...
