Charged intermediates and reagents are ubiquitous in organic transformations. The interaction of these ionic species with chiral neutral, anionic, or cationic small molecules has emerged as a powerful strategy for catalytic, enantioselective synthesis. This review describes developments in the burgeoning field of asymmetric ion-pairing catalysis with an emphasis on the insights that have been gleaned into the structural and mechanistic features that contribute to high asymmetric induction.

Although methods for synthesizing chiral phosphorus scaffolds are available, the potential of this molecular chirality remains largely unexplored. Herein, we present a remote desymmetrization of prochiral biaryl phosphine oxides through an organocatalytic asymmetric arylation. This metal-free approach enables the efficient synthesis of a wide range of densely functionalized P(V)-stereogenic compounds with good to excellent yields and satisfactory enantioselectivities.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines and therapeutics hold immense potential for a wide range of clinical applications. However, the in vitro transcription (IVT) process used to synthesize mRNA also results in the generation of a by-product, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which can trigger innate immune activation and reduce translation activity. Although various efforts have been made to optimize IVT synthesis to minimize dsRNA formation, dsRNA impurities still cannot be fully resolved.

Poly(-vinylcarbazole) (PNVC-H) is a valuable nonconjugated photoconductive polymer, but the free radical polymerization conditions typically used for its synthesis do not control polymer stereochemistry and are not tolerant to many substituted -vinylcarbazoles. Here, we report the stereoselective cationic polymerization of a series of 3,6-disubtituted -vinylcarbazole derivatives using a chiral scandium-bis(oxazoline) Lewis acid catalyst. The combination of asymmetric ion-pairing catalysis and inherent monomer stereoelectronics facilitated stereoselective polymerization at room temperature, which enabled the polymerization of less soluble 3,6-disubstituted--vinylcarbazole derivatives.

The synthesis of stereoregular polymers through ionic mechanisms using asymmetric ion-pairing (AIP) catalysis is emerging as an effective strategy to achieve differentiated material properties from readily available building blocks. Stereoselective cationic polymerization in particular is primed for advancement using AIP by leveraging the breadth of Brønsted and Lewis acid small-molecule catalysis literature; however, mechanistic studies that address polymer-specific phenomena are scarce and, as a result, the lack of mechanistic understanding has limited catalyst design. In a recent study, we demonstrated the only example of a stereoselective and helix-sense-selective cationic vinyl polymerization of -vinylcarbazole using chiral scandium-(oxazoline) Lewis acids.

Organic phosphors integrating circularly polarized persistent luminescence (CPPL) across the visible range are widespread for applications in optical information encryption, bioimaging, and 3D display, but the pursuit of color-tunable CPPL in single-component organics remains a formidable task. Herein, via in situ photoimplanting radical ion pairing into axial chiral crystals, we present and elucidate an unprecedented double-module decay strategy to achieve a colorful CPPL through a combination of stable triplet emission from neutral diphosphine and doublet radiance from photogenic radicals in an exclusive crystalline framework. Owing to the photoactivation-dependent doublet radiance component and an inherent triplet phosphorescence in the asymmetric environment, the CPL vision can be regulated by altering the photoactivation and observation time window, allowing colorful glow tuning from blue and orange to delayed green emission.
