The purpose of this study was to maximise circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) utilising chiral templating that manipulates the helical nature of bent-core liquid crystals (BCLC) concentrated with a high quantum-yield luminophore. Using a chiral template and an achiral phosphorescent and liquid crystal emitter that can allow chirality transfer, the resulting complex induces circular polarisation without aggregation-caused quenching events. This enables the integration of our luminophore into a chiral matrix at very high concentrations. Using this new, all-inclusive model in lab, we designed a polarised light source controlled through the helical-type morphology of the template giving access to a highly tunable CPL system with an excellent dissymmetry factor (glum). This system can aid in many optical processes or thermal-rate indicators.
