In this communication we describe a helically chiral push-pull molecule named 9,10-dimethoxy-[7]helicene diimide, displaying fluorescence (FL) and circularly polarised luminescence (CPL) over nearly the entire visible spectrum dependent on solvent polarity. The synthesised molecule exhibits an unusual solvent polarity dependence of FL quantum yield and nonradiative rate constant, as well as remarkable and values along with high configurational stability.

The magnetic and magneto-optical properties of a tetrazinyl radical-bridged Er metallocene, [(Cp*Er)(bpytz)][BPh] (; Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, bpytz = 3,6-bis(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolyl)-1,2,4,5-tetrazine), are reported. As confirmed by these studies strong Ln-rad coupling is achieved, with exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation under a 1000 Oe dc field. The optical and magneto-optical profile of is completed by both near-infrared (NIR) luminescence and magnetic circularly polarized luminescence (MCPL), representing the first example of NIR MCPL with Er.

The preparation of single-crystal polymers with circularly polarized luminesce (CPL) remains a challenging task in chemistry and materials science. Herein, we present the single-crystal-to-single-crystal topochemical photopolymerization of a chiral organic salt to achieve this goal. The in-situ reaction of 1,4-bis((E)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinyl)benzene (1) with chiral (+)- or (-)-camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) gives the monomer crystal 1[( + )/( - )-CSA] showing yellow CPL with a high luminescent dissymmetry factor |g| of 0.

Here, we report the synthesis and self-assembly of a novel chiral 2,3:6,7‒naphthalenediimide-based triangular macrocycle (NDI-∆) and their chiroptical properties. The enantiomeric NDI-∆ is synthesized by condensation of (RR) or (SS)-trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine and 2,3,6,7-naphthalenetetracarboxylic 2,3:6,7-dianhydride, in which the chirality of the macrocycles is controlled by the diamine. With the rigid outer π-surface, the macrocycle showed unique chiroptical properties and self-assembly modes.
