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 0.035 and emission quantum yield Φ of 49.7%. Upon photo-induced topochemical [2 + 2] polymerization, single-crystal polyionic polymers of poly-1[( + )/( - )-CSA] are obtained. The single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) photopolymerization is revealed by in situ powder X-ray diffraction, single-crystal X-ray, optical microscopy, infrared, circular dichroism, and CPL spectroscopic analyzes. Interestingly, the photopolymer crystals show blue and handedness-inverted CPL with |g| of 0.011 (Φ = 14.2%), with respect to the yellow CPL of the monomer crystal. Furthermore, patterned circularly-polarized photonic heterojunctions with alternate blue and yellow CPL sub-blocks are prepared by a mask-assisted photopolymerization method. Our findings provide a vision for fabricating high-performance CPL-active crystalline polymer materials, paving the way for the further development of photo-response chiral systems.

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.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials with precisely controlled emission colors and handedness are highly desirable for their promising applications in advanced optical technologies, but it is rather challenging to obtain them primarily due to the lack of convenient, powerful, and universal preparation strategies. Herein, we report a simple yet versatile solution route for constructing multicolor CPL materials with controllable handedness from nonchiral luminescent charge-transfer (CT) complexes through co-assembly with chiral N-terminal aromatic amino acids. The resulting ternary co-assemblies exhibit obvious CPL signals from 489 to 601 nm, covering from blue green and yellow to orange-red.

Constructing circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials that exhibit dynamic handedness inversion and emissive color modulation for multimodal information encryption presents both a significant challenge and a compelling opportunity. Here, we have developed a pyridinethiazole acrylonitrile-cholesterol derivative (Z-PTC) that exhibits wavelength-dependent photoisomerization and photocyclization, enabling dynamic handedness inversion and emissive color modulation in supramolecular assemblies with decent CPL activity. Coordination with Ag ions form the Z-PTC Ag supramolecular polymer (SP), which assembles into nanotubes displaying enhanced positive yellow-green CPL.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the effectiveness of Cowpea-legumin (CPL) in inhibiting antibiotic-resistant foodborne pathogens (FBP) and its impact on the quality and shelf-life of Longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) steaks during 15 days of chilling at 4°C.
- - Antibiotic-resistant Salmonella enterica and E. coli showed MICs of 25 and 3.125 mg/mL with CPL, while antibiotic-susceptible bacteria were effectively suppressed at 0.1 mg/mL.
- - CPL not only enhanced the quality and color of the LTL steaks but also exhibited significant antioxidant and antibacterial properties, suggesting its potential as an effective preservative in combating antibiotic resistance
