Luminescence‐Driven Reversible Handedness Inversion of Self‐Organized Helical Superstructures Enabled by a Novel Near‐Infrared Light Nanotransducer

Abstract

Nanotransducer-impregnated self-organized helical superstructures are found to exhibit unprecedented reversible handedness inversion upon irradiation by the dual-wavelength near-infrared light. Upon near-infrared laser irradiation at 808 nm, the helical twist sense changes from right-handed to left-handed through an achiral liquid-crystal phase, whereas its reverse process occurs upon the near-infrared laser irradiation at 980 nm.
