We have achieved sizable ex-chiral-pool synthesis of enantiopure prolinol functionalized squaraine small molecular compounds with opposite handedness. The aggregation into intrinsically circular dichroic, molecular J-aggregates with quasimetallic reflection is controlled by thermal annealing. By Mueller matrix spectroscopy [1] we show an extraordinary high but true circular dichroism in spincasted thin films spectrally located at 780 nm. The ellipticity well reaches a value of 500 mdeg/nm and an intensive dissymmetry factor of 0.75, respectively, and is evenly distributed over the complete thin film area. So far, these values have no documented rival among intrinsic supramolecular circular dichroism, and thereby are revolutionary for the development of organic based chiral photonics and spintronics.
