Herein, we report the precise control of molecular to supramolecular chirality induction at the single-molecule level just upon subtle modification in an achiral 'nano-size' trizinc(II) porphyrin trimer. A slight variation in the projection of the substituent at the periphery of the central porphyrin unit in a porphyrin trimer (host) resulted in pronounced changes in the interchromophoric arrangement, leading to distinct 'open' and 'closed' conformations. While 'open' form generates 'monomeric' complex with low CD amplitude, 'closed' form produces exclusive 'polymer' with large, amplified CD signal with opposite sign due to stronger intermolecular excitonic coupling.

Easily obtainable and efficient chiral -symmetric bipyridine-,'-dioxide ligands with Ni(OTf) were developed for application in catalyzing [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions to synthesize optically active fused pyrazolidines or pyrazoline derivatives featuring three contiguous stereogenic centers by employing azomethine imines and α,β-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles, affording the corresponding adducts with the opposite configuration compared to previous synthetic products in 80-98% yields with 28-99% ee and >20:1 dr. In addition, subsequent amplification experiments and derivative transformations of the product further demonstrated the efficient catalytic performance of the catalyst Ni(II)-bipyridine-,'-dioxide complexes and the practicality of this synthesis methodology.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) film attracted considerable attention in information storage and encryption, three-dimensional display, and chiral recognition. However, due to the limited molecular mobility within thin film, achieving a high asymmetry factor and non-contact modulation of CPL remain challenging. In this work, color-switchable homochiral CPL films with high luminescence asymmetry factor (glum~0.

Currently, circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has drawn wide interest in 3D display, information storage, and optical sensing. However, traditional synthetic paths are often accompanied by low chiral optical intensity and complex processes. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), with the properties of liquid crystals, can spontaneously arrange into the left-handed layered nanofilm, which enables them candidates in the construction of CPL materials.

Supramolecular chirality has gained immense attention for great potential, in which the rational engineering strategy facilitates unique helical stacking/assembly, high chiroptical behavior, and prime biomedical activity. In this study, we reported a novel chiral organic donor-acceptor cocrystal based on asymmetrical components of benzo()naphtho(1,2-)thiophene (BNT) and 9-oxo-9H-indeno(1,2-)pyrazine-2,3-dicarbonitrile (DCAF) that exhibited red emission using a simple solution approach. During the self-assembly, a kinetically controlled growth of polar solvent or substrate induction led to the chiral packing and helical morphology twisted by the cooperation of electrostatic potential energy and chirality.
