Planar chirality inversion of pillar[5]arenes bearing d- or l-alanine substituents on both rims was investigated upon addition of guest molecules having pyridinium or imidazole moieties and long alkyl chains. The d- and l-alanine-substituted pillar[5]arenes exhibited pS and pR planar chirality, respectively. However, this planar chirality was inverted upon inclusion of certain achiral molecules, comprising pyridinium or imidazole moieties and long alkyl chains with terminal hydroxyl or methyl groups.

Circularly polarized multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-MR-TADF) materials have received widespread attention in recent years, but it remains a formidable challenge to design high-performance CP-MR-TADF emitters concurrently exhibiting high quantum efficiency, narrowband emission, and high dissymmetry factor (). Here, we perform an in-depth theoretical investigation on the CP-MR-TADF materials based on [2.2] paracyclophane (pCp) derivatives.

Genome mining has emerged as an important tool for the discovery of natural products and is particularly effective for the swift identification of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs). Among RiPPs, cyanobactins have gained attention due to their diverse structures and bioactive properties. Here, we explored the Microcoleaceae cyanobacterium LEGE 16532 strain and identified the biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC), which was predicted to encode cyanobactin-like molecules.

Development of chiral organic materials with a strong chiroptical response is crucial to advance technologies based on circularly polarized luminescence, enantioselective sensing, or unique optical signatures in anti-counterfeiting. The progress in the field is hampered by the lack of structure-property relationships that would help designing new chiral molecules. Here, we address this challenge by synthesis and investigation of two chiral macrocycles that integrate in their structure a pseudo-meta [2.

Seven cyclic depsipeptides, including two new cyclic pentadepsipeptides avenamides A () and B (), were isolated from a plant-derived fungus W8 by using the bioassay-guided fractionation method. The planar structures were elucidated by using comprehensive spectroscopic analyses, including 1D and 2D NMR, as well as MS/MS spectrometry. The absolute configuration of the amino acid and hydroxy acid residues was confirmed by using the advanced Marfey's method and chiral HPLC analysis, respectively.

Chiral macrocycles have recently emerged as promising materials for enantioselective recognition, asymmetric catalysis, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) due to their terminal-free structure, preorganized chiral cavities, and unique host-guest and self-assembly properties. This review summarizes recent advances in the design and synthesis of chiral macrocycles with central, axial, helical, and planar chirality, each imparting distinct structural and chiroptical characteristics. We highlight key strategies for constructing these macrocycles and their applications in optoelectronic and catalytic systems.
