Abstract
The prominent influence of the molecular symmetry, as defined by the symmetry point group, on the chiroptical behavior (electronic circular dichroism and, especially, circularly polarized luminescence) of simple fluorescent boron chelates (BODIPY and related BOPHY analogues) is studied and discussed. It is shown that increasing the dye symmetry by means of the D3 chiral symmetry group is a workable design option to enhance the level of differential emission of right- and left-circularly polarized light in BODIPY dyes and related emitters, and that the influence of the level of symmetry is stronger than the influence of the higher number of chiral moieties perturbing the acting achiral chromophore.
