Chemical structure of the chiral aminoborane along with its solvent-dependent luminescence behaviour

Left: Chemical structure of the chiral aminoborane along with its solvent-dependent luminescence behaviour. Right: Demonstration of security writing using ink formulated from 1 wt% R-(BN)₂ and its achiral analogue (BN)₁ in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Both samples exhibit similar fluorescence under UV light, however, the chiral framework in R-(BN)₂ results in brighter phosphorescence and a prolonged afterglow at 298 K under a nitrogen atmosphere
