New hindered tetraphenylethylene (TPE) helicates with substitution at 2,6-position of phenyl rings were designed and synthesized. Due to the increased hindrance, the TPE helicates emit strong deep-blue to violet fluorescence both in the solid state and in solution, and could be resolved into enantiomers that emit strong and multicolor circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), and exhibit a high enantioselective recognition of chiral tartaric acid and its derivatives. Surprisingly, the derived helicate tetramines possess amino groups with an unpredented planar structure and sp -hybridized nitrogen, arousing the change between AIE effect and ACQ phenomenon through photoinduced electron transfer (PET). With advantages of short synthetic route, many modification positions, deep-blue to violet emission, wide CPL tuning, and high chiral recognition ability, the hindered TPE helicates show broad prospects as chiral materials.

Helical foldamers constitute particularly relevant targets in the field of host-guest chemistry, be that as hosts or substrates. In this context, the strategies reported so far to control the dimensions and shape of foldamers mainly involve modifications of the skeleton through covalent synthesis. Herein, we prepared an oligopyridine dicarboxamide foldamer substituted by photo-active tetraphenylethylenes (TPE).

The controlled synthesis of star-shaped bottlebrush polymers with tunable topologies is a challenge. However, such materials may exhibit distinct photoluminescence properties. Bottlebrush polymers have polymerization-induced emission (PIE) properties due to their aggregated side chains, and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) is also a unique luminescent property.

Helicenes and their derivatives show great application prospects as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials, but their fluorescence quantum yields (Φs) need a breakthrough urgently. Herein, we reported a series of D-π-A type helical luminescent emitters by combining the [7]helicene-like imide acceptor with five different donors. The obtained five emitters display blue-to-orange luminescence and markedly enhanced Φ.

Article Synopsis
- The helical structure significantly boosts chiroptical properties like circular dichroism (CD) and circular polarized luminescence (CPL), but traditional helical molecules often show weak signals.
- Chiral tetraphenylethylene (TPE) bimacrocycles produce exceptionally strong and repeatable CD signals over 7000 mdeg and intense CPL light, which is unusual for organic compounds.
- The study highlights the importance of self-inclusion superhelices in enhancing these chiroptical effects and suggests potential applications in chiral recognition and analysis of various chiral substances.

A novel room-temperature liquid crystal of tetraphenylethylene derivative (TPE-DHAB) was synthesized using an ionic self-assembly strategy. The TPE-DHAB complex exhibits typical aggregation-induced emission properties and a unique helical supramolecular structure. Moreover, the generation and handedness inversion of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) can be achieved through further chiral solvation, providing a facile approach to fabricate room-temperature liquid crystalline materials with controllable supramolecular structures and tunable CPL properties through a synergistic strategy of ionic self-assembly and chiral solvation process.
