These systems form stable Langmuir films at an air-water interface, which were transferred onto solid supports (quartz slides) resulting in stable monolayers that exhibit time delayed Eu(III) centered emission and circular polarized luminescence (CPL) upon excitation of the chiral naphthyl antennae.2289356 bytesapplication/pdfenThis is the author's version of the following article: Kitchen, J.
