Reversible and selective binding of a dynamically racemic europium(III) complex to α(1)-acid glycoprotein and α(1)-antitrypsin is characterised by a significant change in the europium total emission spectral fingerprint and the switching on of a large circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) signal from the metal centre. Observation of an induced CD into the ligand chromophore in the presence of α(1)-AGP allows a structure for the protein-bound complex to be postulated. A direct determination of elevated α(1)-AGP levels in human serum was achieved by monitoring changes in the intensity ratio of Eu emission bands.

Quasiparticles are low-energy excitations with important roles in condensed matter physics. An intriguing example is provided by Majorana quasiparticles, which are equivalent to their antiparticles. Despite being implicated in neutrino oscillations and topological superconductivity, their experimental realizations remain very rare.

2D Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites, upon inclusion of a chiral amine, exhibit chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS). Although alloying at the halogen site in MBA-based RPs (MBA: methylbenzylammonium) is one of the suitable routes to tune the CISS effect, the mixed-halide RP perovskites exhibited complete suppression of chirality when probed through circular dichroism (CD). Here, we present the CISS effect in a series of mixed-halide RP perovskites.

This study investigates the synthesis and characterization of alkyne-based multilayered three-dimensional (3D) polymers, which exhibit a subtle aggregation-induced emission (AIE) phenomenon. The polymers demonstrate significant potential as fluorescent probes for the selective detection of chromium (VI) ions (Cr⁺), showcasing their utility in environmental sensing applications. Additionally, the circular dichroism (CD) spectra reveal a pronounced cotton effect, indicative of chiral properties, while scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scatting (DLS) analysis reveal a distinctive rock-like surface morphology and Cr sensitive anti-aggregation.

Blue-emissive nitrogen-doped chiral carbon dots (d-NCD230 and l-NCD230) exhibiting antipodal chiroptical activity, synthesized from the thermal pyrolysis of citric acid and d/l-aspartic acid in 1:2 molar ratios, have been explored as chirality-based fluorescent turn-off/on probes for the detection of Hg and l-cysteine (l-Cys). Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy revealed that the chiroptical activity originates from a synergy among intrinsic chirality, chiral precursors on the NCD surface, and hybridization of lower energy levels within the embedded chiral chromophore. Quantitative analysis of optical asymmetry using the Kuhn asymmetry factor () at the CD signal of 312 nm showed a higher value for d-NCD230 (1.

- exhibited significant aggregation-induced Emission (AIE) characteristics, including high brightness (αAIE ≈ 40), robust light stability, a substantial Stokes shift (128 nm), and a high signal-to-noise ratio, effectively overcoming aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ). Derived from the axially chiral -H-BINOL, - was synthesized via nucleophilic cyclization and exhibited pronounced self-assembly properties. Through robust intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions, - formed diverse supramolecular structures, including spherical flower-like aggregates, hollow-core triangular tubules, hexagonal tubules, and irregular white block-like stacks.
