Tunable circularly polarized luminescence behaviors caused by the structural symmetry of achiral pyrene-based emitters in chiral co-assembled systems. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 669:561-568.

Abstract
The regulation of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) behavior is of great significance for practical applications. Herein, we deliberately designed three achiral pyrene derivatives (Py-1, Py-2, and Py-3) with different butoxy-phenyl substituents and the chiral binaphthyl-based inducer (R/S-B) with anchored dihedral angle to construct chiral co-assemblies, and explored their induced CPL behaviors. Interestingly, the resulting co-assemblies demonstrate tunable CPL emission behaviors caused by the structural symmetry effect of achiral pyrene-based emitters during the chiral co-assembly process. And in spin-coated films, the dissymmetry factor (gem) values were 9.1 × 10-3 for (R/S-B)1-(Py-1)10, 5.6 × 10-2 for (R/S-B)1-(Py-2)7, and 8.6 × 10-4 for (R/S-B)1-(Py-3)1, respectively. The strongest CPL emission (|gem| = 5.6 × 10-2, λem = 423 nm, QY = 34.8 %) was detected on (R/S-B)1-(Py-2)7 due to the formation of regular and ordered helical nanofibers through the strong π-π stacking interaction between the R/S-B and the achiral Py-2 emitter. The strategy presented here provides a creative approach for progressively regulating CPL emission behaviors in the chiral co-assembly process.

Abstract
Researchers unremittingly strive to develop innovative luminophores to enhance intrinsic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) performance. However, the potential to harness facile strategies, such as manipulating the physical properties of luminophores while retaining functional chemical properties to fabricate cost-effective ECL complexes, remains underexplored. Herein, we reported a novel and efficient one-step galvanic technique to actualize aggregation-enhanced ECL (AEECL) of ruthenium complexes. It marked the first instance of the galvanic process being employed to synthesize aggregate luminophores through electrostatic attraction. The ECL intensity and efficiency of the prepared ruthenium complexes with AEECL properties surpassed traditional ruthenium complexes by 8.9 and 13.6 times, respectively, outperforming most reported luminophores. Remarkably, the target luminophore exhibited high stability across varied scan rates and temperatures. Furthermore, a binder-free and carbon paper-based AEECL analytical device for lidocaine detection was fabricated, achieving a satisfactory detection limit (0.34 nM) and selectivity. The convenient modulation strategy of aggregate structure, along with the transformative leap from insufficient ECL to AEECL, bring forth a new revenue in aggregate science. This research also promises a universally applicable and versatile protocol for future biological analysis and bioimaging applications.

Abstract
One of the most important factors for the future application of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials is their high dissymmetry factors (gem), and more and more studies are working tirelessly to focus on increasing the gem value. Herein, we chose an achiral liquid crystal polymer (LC-P) and two chiral binaphthyl-based inducers (R/S-3 and R/S-6) with different substitution positions (3,3' positions for R/S-3 and 6,6' positions for R/S-6) to construct chiral co-assemblies and explored their induced amplification CPL behaviors. Interestingly, after the thermal annealing treatment, this kind of chiral co-assembly (R/S-3)0.05-(LC-P)0.95 can emit a superior CPL signal (|gem| = 0.31 and λem = 424 nm), which achieves about 13-fold signal amplification in the spin-coated film, compared to (R/S-6)0.1-(LC-P)0.9 (|gem| = 0.023 and λem = 424 nm). This is because (R/S-3)0.05-(LC-P)0.95 could further co-assemble to form a more ordered arrangement LC state and generate regular helix nanofibers than that of (R/S-6)0.1-(LC-P)0.9. This work provides an efficient method for synthesizing high-quality CPL-active materials through the strategic manipulation of the structure of chiral binaphthyl-based inducers in chiral co-assembled LCP systems.

Abstract
High-power LED lighting is a crucial challenge due to the notorious thermal quenching (TQ) effect of traditional phosphors at high operating currents, which would result in poor device performance and hamper practical optoelectronic application. Herein, we demonstrate ligand engineering of a cubane- versus staircase-like [Cu4I4] conformer as a node in coordination polymers, which remarkably suppresses the TQ effect of cluster-based photoluminescence. For complex 1 (the formula [Cu4I4(bbimb)2]n) with the cubane-like [Cu4I4] conformer as a node, the metallophilicity interaction enables ultrabright triplet emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield over 82%, and the phonon-assisted detrapping process of excitons effectively suppresses the TQ effect in the wide temperature range. In contrast, the staircase-like [Cu4I4] conformer as a node in complex 2 (the formula [Cu4I4(bbtmb)2]n) exhibits a serious TQ effect over the investigated temperature. Phosphor-converted white LEDs (pc-wLEDs) were fabricated by integrating the cluster-based coordination polymers as a color converter, and their electroluminescence performances were investigated under high bias currents. The prototype pc-wLED device by incorporating the phosphor with the suppressed TQ effect exhibits a continuous rise in brightness under a high bias current of 300 mA. The results demonstrate that ligand engineering of the cluster conformer via suppressing the TQ effect proves efficient in designing an ideal color converter for high-power pc-wLED lighting.

Abstract
The synthesis of dynamic chiral lanthanide complex emitters has always been difficult. Herein, we report three pairs of dynamic chiral EuIII complex emitters (R/S-Eu-R-1, R = Et/Me; R/S-Eu-Et-2) with aggregation-induced emission. In the molecular state, these EuIII complexes have almost no obvious emission, while in the aggregate state, they greatly enhance the EuIII emission through restriction of intramolecular rotation and restriction of intramolecular vibration. The asymmetry factor and the circularly polarized luminescence brightness are as high as 0.64 (5D0 → 7F1) and 2429 M-1cm-1 of R-Eu-Et-1, achieving a rare double improvement. R-Eu-Et-1/2 exhibit excellent sensing properties for low concentrations of CuII ions, and their detection limits are as low as 2.55 and 4.44 nM, respectively. Dynamic EuIII complexes are constructed by using chiral ligands with rotor structures or vibration units, an approach that opens a door for the construction of dynamic chiral luminescent materials.

Abstract
Chiroptical activities arising in nanoclusters (NCs) are emerging as one of the most dynamic areas of modern science. However, devising an overarching strategy that is capable of concurrently enhancing the photoluminescence (PL) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of metal NCs remains a formidable challenge. Herein, gold and silver nanoclusters (AuNCs, AgNCs) are endowed with CPL, for the first time, through a universal host-guest approach─centered around perturbing a chiral microenvironment within chiral hosts, simultaneously enhancing emissions. Remarkably, the photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) of AuNCs has undergone an increase of over 200 times upon confinement, escalating from 0.05% to 12%, and demonstrates a CPL response. Moreover, a three-dimensional (3D) model termed "NCs@CMOF" featuring CPL activity is created using metal cluster-based assembly inks through the process of 3D printing. This work introduces a potentially straightforward and versatile approach for achieving both PL enhancement and CPL activities in metal clusters.

Abstract
The helical twisting tendency of liquid crystals (LCs) is generally governed by the inherent configuration of the chiral emitter. Here, we introduce the multistage inversion of supramolecular chirality as well as circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) by manipulating the ratio of single enantiomeric emitters (R-PCP) to LC monomers (5CB). Increasing the content of R-PCP from 1 wt % to 3 wt % inverted the helix of LCs from left-handed to right-handed, accompanying a CPL sign changed from positive to negative. The biaxiality of chiral emitters, as well as the steric effect of chiral-chiral and chiral-achiral interaction, were identified as the reasons for helical sense inversion. Due to the strong helical twisting power, 4 wt % R-PCP drove the photonic band gap (PBG) of chiral LCs to match up with their emission range, leading to an inversion of the CPL again with a high dissymmetry factor (≈1.2). Directly adjusting the PBG using chiral emitters is seldom achieved in cholesteric LCs. On this basis, an achiral sensitizer PtTPBP was assembled into the helical superstructure. The generation of triplet-triplet annihilation-induced upconverted CPL from R-PCP and the downshifting CPL from PtTPBP with opposite rotation was achieved in a single chiral LC system by tuning the position of the PBG.

Abstract
Pinacol lanthanide complexes PyraLn (Ln = Dy and Tb) with the restriction of intramolecular vibration were obtained for the first time via an in situ solvothermal coordination-catalyzed tandem reaction using cheap and simple starting materials, thereby avoiding complex, time-consuming, and expensive conventional organic synthesis strategies. A high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS) analysis confirmed the stability of PyraLn in an organic solution. The formation process of PyraLn was monitored in detail using time-dependent HRESI-MS, which allowed for proposing a mechanism for the formation of pinacol complexes via in situ tandem reactions under one-pot coordination-catalyzed conditions. The PyraLn complexes constructed using a pinacol ligand with a butterfly configuration exhibited distinct aggregation-induced emission (AIE) behavior, with the αAIE value as high as 60.42 according to the AIE titration curve. In addition, the PyraLn complexes in the aggregated state exhibit a rapid photoresponse to various 3d metal ions with low detection limits. These findings provide fast, facile, and high-yield access to dynamic, smart lanthanide complex emissions with bright emission and facilitate the rational construction of molecular machines for artificial intelligence.

Abstract
Storage of volatile active molecules, along with the prolongation of their specific functions, requires the use of regulatable carriers. Pyrazine derivatives are highly volatile compounds with a broad application owing to their flavoring, pharmaceutical, antimicrobial, antiseptic, and insecticidal properties. In this study, pyrazines were stored by coordinating them with cuprous iodide to easily generate a series of luminescent coordination polymer (CP)-based carriers. The CPs could respond to thermal-redox stimuli and manipulate pyrazine release by breaking the labile Cu-N bonds when triggered by the two stimuli. Moreover, the release process could be visualized by decreased luminescence caused by the gradual decomposition of CP structures. The loading efficiencies ranged from 31% to 38%, and the controlled release behaviors accord with the zero-order kinetics. This work is the first to prove that CPs could function as dual stimuli-mediated delivery systems, which hold the potential to control the release and strengthen the usability of functional molecules.

[PMID: 37898608 PMCID: PMC10613312 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-42688-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Three-component dehydrogenative coupling reactions represent important and practical methodologies for forging new C-N bonds and C-C bonds. Achieving highly all-in-one dehydrogenative coupling functionalization by a single catalytic system remains a great challenge. Herein, we develop a rigid-flexible-coupled copper cluster [Cu3(NHC)3(PF6)3] (Cu3NC(NHC)) using a tridentate N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. The shell ligand endows Cu3NC(NHC) with dual attributes, including rigidity and flexibility, to improve activity and stability. The Cu3NC(NHC) is applied to catalyze both highly all-in-one dehydrogenative coupling transformations. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory illustrate that the improved regioselectivity is derived from the low energy of ion pair with copper acetylide and endo-iminium ions and the low transition state, which originates from the unique physicochemical properties of the Cu3NC(NHC) catalyst. This work highlights the importance of N-heterocyclic carbene in the modification of copper clusters, providing a new design rule to protect cluster catalytic centers and enhance catalysis.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202312053. [PMID: 37698462 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202312053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 09/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/13/2023]
Abstract
Copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) are emerging electrochemiluminescence (ECL) emitters with unique molecule-like electronic structures, high abundance, and low cost. However, the synthesis of CuNCs with high ECL efficiency and stability in a scalable manner remains challenging. Here, we report a facile gram-scale approach for preparing self-assembled CuNCs (CuNCsAssy ) induced by ligands with exceptionally boosted anodic ECL and stability. Compared to the disordered aggregates that are inactive in ECL, the CuNCsAssy shows a record anodic ECL efficiency for CuNCs (10 %, wavelength-corrected, relative to Ru(bpy)3 Cl2 /tripropylamine). Mechanism studies revealed the unusual dual functions of ligands in simultaneously facilitating electrochemical excitation and radiative transition. Moreover, the assembly addressed the limitation of poor stability of conventional CuNCs. As a proof of concept, an ECL biosensor for alkaline phosphatase detection was successfully constructed with an ultralow limit of detection of 8.1×10-6 U/L.

Mn(iii)-mediated C-P bond activation of diphosphines: toward a highly emissive phosphahelicene cation scaffold and modulated circularly polarized luminescence. Chem Sci 2023; 14:10446-10457. [PMID: 37799992 PMCID: PMC10548521 DOI: 10.1039/d3sc03201a] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Transition metal mediated C-X (X = H, halogen) bond activation provides an impressive protocol for building polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in C-C bond coupling and annulation; however, mimicking both the reaction model and Lewis acid mediator simultaneously in a hetero-PAH system for selective C-P bond cleavage faces unsolved challenges. At present, developing the C-P bond activation protocol of the phosphonic backbone using noble-metal complexes is a predominant passway for the construction of phosphine catalysts and P-center redox-dependent photoelectric semiconductors, but non-noble metal triggered methods are still elusive. Herein, we report Mn(iii)-mediated C-P bond activation and intramolecular cyclization of diphosphines by a redox-directed radical phosphonium process, generating phosphahelicene cations or phosphoniums with nice regioselectivity and substrate universality under mild conditions. Experiments and theoretical calculations revealed the existence of the unusual radical mechanism and electron-deficient character of novel phosphahelicenes. These rigid quaternary bonding skeletons facilitated versatile fluorescence with good tunability and excellent efficiency. Moreover, the enantiomerically enriched crystals of phosphahelicenes emitted intense circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). Notably, the modulated CPL of racemic phosphahelicenes was induced by chiral transmission in the cholesteric mesophase, showing ultrahigh asymmetry factors of CPL (+0.51, -0.48). Our findings provide a new approach for the design of emissive phosphahelicenes towards chiral emitters and synthesized precursors.

Chem Asian J 2023; 18:e202300442. [PMID: 37368476 DOI: 10.1002/asia.202300442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/19/2023] [Accepted: 06/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023]
Abstract
The solvent plays an influential role in controlling the nucleation process of metal nanoclusters (MNCs) and thereby significantly modulates their optical signatures. Herein, we have demonstrated the solvent-induced modulation in the optical properties of copper nanoclusters (CuNCs), primarily governed by the solvent polarity. During the preparation of para-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA)-templated CuNCs, the simultaneous formation of blue-emitting CuNCs (B-CuNCs) and red-emitting CuNCs (R-CuNCs) were observed up to 7 h of reaction time, reflected from the systematic increment in the photoluminescence (PL) intensity at 420 nm and 615 nm, respectively. However, after 7 h of reaction time, the exclusive formation of B-CuNCs was observed. Such simultaneous growth and depletion dynamics of CuNCs result in a significant modulation in their optical properties. The variation of the solvent from water to less polar solvents such as DMSO and DMF restricts this inter-cluster dynamics by stabilizing both the CuNCs (B-CuNCs and R-CuNCs). Thereby, a single-component White Light Emission (WLE) was realized in DMSO with CIE coordinates (0.37, 0.36). The isomeric effect of the templates has also been investigated which extensively controls the optical and catalytic properties of the CuNCs.

Abstract
Chiral metal nanoclusters synthesized by non-chiral ligands are usually in the form of racemates. Thus, resolving racemic compounds continues to be a great challenge. Herein, we report a case of the racemic compound hexanuclear silver cluster (Ag6-Rac) protected by the non-chiral sulfhydryl ligand sodium 1H-1,2,3-triazole-5-thiolate (SHTT) and 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)pyridine (dpppy). The homochiral clusters in Ag6-Rac are able to spontaneously crystallize and undergo chiral resolution to obtain a racemic conglomerate (Ag6-S/Ag6-R) by solvent-induced crystallization. Interestingly, the Ag6-Rac clusters exhibit strong luminescence in solid and solution, which can respond to trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and reversible cycling over five times using diethylamine (DEA). This work provides a new research model for resolving racemic clusters and constructing stimulus-responsive clusters.

Abstract
The investigation of chirality at the nanoscale is important to bridge the gap between molecular and macroscopic chirality. Atomically precise metal nanoclusters provide an ideal platform for this research, while their enantiopure preparation poses a challenge. Here, we describe an efficient approach to enantiopure metal nanoclusters via asymmetric transformation, that is, achiral Au23(SC6H11)16 nanoclusters are converted into chiral and enantiopure Au24(L)2(SC6H11)16 nanoclusters by a chiral inducer phosphoramidite (L). Two enantiomers of Au24(L)2(SC6H11)16 are obtained and the crystal structures reveal their hierarchical chirality, which originates from the two introduced chiral L molecules, the transformation-triggered asymmetric rearrangement of the staple motifs on the surface of the gold core, and the helical arrangement of nanocluster molecules. The construction of this type of enantiomerically pure nanoclusters is achieved based on the easy-to-synthesize and modular L. Lastly, the chirality-related chiroptical performance was investigated, revealing a negative nonlinear CD-ee dependence.

Abstract
Owing to the inherent instability caused by the low Cu(I)/Cu(0) half-cell reduction potential, Cu(0)-containing copper nanoclusters are quite uncommon in comparison to their Ag and Au congeners. Here, a novel eight-electron superatomic copper nanocluster [Cu31(4-MeO-PhC≡C)21(dppe)3](ClO4)2 (Cu31, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) is presented with total structural characterization. The structural determination reveals that Cu31 features an inherent chiral metal core arising from the helical arrangement of two sets of three Cu2 units encircling the icosahedral Cu13 core, which is further shielded by 4-MeO-PhC≡C- and dppe ligands. Cu31 is the first copper nanocluster carrying eight free electrons, which is further corroborated by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations. Interestingly, Cu31 demonstrates the first near-infrared (750-950 nm, NIR-I) window absorption and the second near-infrared (1000-1700 nm, NIR-II) window emission, which is exceptional in the copper nanocluster family and endows it with great potential in biological applications. Of note, the 4-methoxy groups providing close contacts with neighboring clusters are crucial for the cluster formation and crystallization, while 2-methoxyphenylacetylene leads only to copper hydride clusters, Cu6H or Cu32H14. This research not only showcases a new member of copper superatoms but also exemplifies that copper nanoclusters, which are nonluminous in the visible range may emit luminescence in the deep NIR region.

Abstract
We investigated coordination polymers of Ag+ with a cysteine-based thiol ligand designed to contain a tetraphenylethylene AIEgen (L- and D-1). The coordination polymers, forming in a variety of protic and aprotic organic solvents, such as THF, CH3CN and CH3OH, were shown to undergo aggregation in H2O/THF binary solvents at water volume fractions above 50%, where emission was substantially enhanced while the CD profile was reversed, yet the dependence of the CD signal on ee remained S-shaped for the polymers in the aprotic organic solvents THF and CH3CN, in contrast to that in protic solvents CH3OH and C2H5OH.

Abstract
An effective strategy is developed to synthesize a novel and stable layered Cu nanocluster using a one-pot reduction method. The cluster, with a molecular formula of [Cu14(tBuS)3(PPh3)7H10]BF4 which has been unambiguously characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, exhibits different structures from previously reported analogues with core-shell geometries. In the absence of chiral ligands, the cluster displays intrinsic chirality owing to the non-covalent ligand-ligand interactions (e.g., C-H⋯Cu interactions and C-H⋯π interactions) to lock the central copper core. The interlacing of chiral-cluster enantiomers forms a large cavity, which lays the foundation for a series of potential applications such as drug filling and gas adsorption. Moreover, the C-H⋯H-C interactions of phenyl groups between different cluster moieties promote the formation of a dextral helix and realization of the self-assembly of nanostructures.

Abstract
Molecular emitters that combine circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and high radiative rate constants of the triplet exciton decay are highly attractive for electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) or next-generation photonic applications, such as spintronics, quantum computing, cryptography, or sensors. However, the design of such emitters is a major challenge because the criteria for enhancing these two properties are mutually exclusive. In this contribution, we show that enantiomerically pure {Cu(CbzR)[(S/R)-BINAP]} [R = H (1), 3,6-tBu (2)] are efficient thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters with high radiative rate constants of kTADF up to 3.1 × 105 s-1 from 1/3LLCT states according to our temperature-dependent time-resolved luminescence studies. The efficiency of the TADF process and emission wavelengths are highly sensitive to environmental hydrogen bonding of the ligands, which can be disrupted by grinding of the crystalline materials. The origin of this pronounced mechano-stimulus photophysical behavior is a thermal equilibrium between the 1/3LLCT states and a 3LC state of the BINAP ligand, which depends on the relative energetic order of the excited states and is prone to inter-ligand C-H···π interactions. The copper(I) complexes are also efficient CPL emitters displaying exceptional dissymmetry values glum of up to ±0.6 × 10-2 in THF solution and ±2.1 × 10-2 in the solid state. Importantly for application in electroluminescence devices, the C-H···π interactions can also be disrupted by employing sterically bulky matrices. Accordingly, we have investigated various matrix materials for successful implementation of the chiral copper(I) TADF emitters in proof-of-concept CP-OLEDs.

Abstract
In this work, a series of butterfly-like isomers named oxacalix[2]naphthalene[2]pyrazine (ONP) were conveniently synthesized by a one-step catalyst-free reaction in a facile manner, and they exhibit typical characteristics of aggregation-induced emission (AIE). The mechanism study shows that restriction of intramolecular vibration (RIV) is the reason for their AIE properties. The pyrazine groups endow ONP molecules with good coordination ability, which makes them ideal ligands for constructing metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Thus, three ONP-based luminescent MOFs were constructed, and they exhibit intense emission with lifetimes in the order of microseconds. More importantly, different ONP isomers have different binding capacities, and thus only one kind of MOF can be obtained even when using an isomer mixture of ONP ligands. This result suggested that the conformation of ONPs is an important determining factor for their application as bridging ligands. This work not only reports a series of new RIV-type AIEgens, but also offers a new platform for the construction of luminescent MOFs.

Abstract
Achieving the controlled release of functional substances is indispensable in many aspects of life. Especially for the aroma molecules, their effective delivery of flavor and fragrance is challenging. Here, selected pyridines, as highly volatile odorants, were individually coordinated with copper(I) iodide (CuII) via a straightforward one-pot synthesis method, rapidly forming pure or even crystalline CuII cluster-based profragrances at room temperature. The obtained profragrances enabled the stable and high loading of volatile fragrances under ambient conditions and guaranteed their long-lasting release during heating. Furthermore, the intrinsic emission luminescence of these solid-state profragrances decayed along with the aroma release, which can serve as an additional indicator for monitoring the delivery process. This research sets a precedent for using CuII clusters as dual-purpose release agents and greatly expands their potential applications.

Abstract
Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-type metal nanoclusters (NCs) represent an innovative type of luminescent metal NCs whose aggregates exhibit superior performance over that of individuals, attracting wide attention over the past decade. Here, we give a concise overview of the progress made in this area, from design strategies to applications. The representative design strategies, including solvent-induction, cation-induction, crystallization-induction, pH-induction, ligand inheritance, surface constraint, and minerals- and MOF-confinement, are first discussed. We then present the typical practical applications of AIE-type metal NCs in the various sectors of bioimaging, biological diagnosis and therapy (e.g., antibacterial agents, cancer radiotherapy), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), detection assays, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). To this end, we present our viewpoints on the promises and challenges of AIE-type metal NCs, which may shed light on the design of highly luminescent metal NCs, stimulating new vitality and serving as a continuous boom for the metal NC community in the future.

Abstract
In the past few decades, organosilicon fluorescent materials have attracted great attention in the field of fluorescent materials not only due to their abundant and flexible structures, but also because of their intriguing fluorescence properties, distinct from silicon-free fluorescent materials. Considering their unique properties, they have found broad application prospects in the fields of chemosensor, bioimaging, light-emitting diodes, etc. However, a comprehensive review focusing on this field, from the perspective of their catalogs and applications, is still absent. In this review, organosilicon fluorescent materials are classified into two main types, organosilicon small molecules and polymers. The former includes fluorescent aryl silanes and siloxanes, and the latter are mainly fluorescent polysiloxanes. Their synthesis and applications are summarized. In particular, the function of silicon atoms in fluorescent materials is introduced. Finally, the development trend of organosilicon fluorescent materials is prospected.

Abstract
Enzymes facilitate chemical conversions through the collective activity of aggregated components, but the marriage of aggregation-induced emission (AIE) with molecular containers to emulate enzymatic conversion remains challenging. Herein, we report a new approach to construct a PtII -based octahedral cage with AIE characteristics for the photocyclization of alkynylaniline by restricting the rotation of the pendant phenyl rings peripheral to the PtII corner. With the presence of water, the C-H⋅⋅⋅π interactions involving the triphenylphosphine fragments resulted in aggregation of the molecular cages into spherical particles and significantly enhanced the PtII -based luminescence. The kinetically inert Pt-NP chelator, with highly differentiated redox potentials in the ground and excited states, and the efficient coordination activation of the platinum corner facilitated excellent catalysis of the photocyclization of alkynylaniline. The enzymatic kinetics and the advantages of binding and activating substrates in an aqueous medium provide a new avenue to develop mimics for efficient photosynthesis.

Abstract
Metal-thiolate complexes have been the focus of research for several years because of their unique photophysical properties and their use as a precursor for synthesizing various well-defined metal nanoclusters. A rational understanding of their structure-property relationship is necessary to realize their full potential in practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of a unique copper-thiolate complex with reversibly switchable catalytic and photoluminescence (PL) properties. The as-synthesized complex at basic pH (Complex B) showed cyan PL with a strong peak at ∼488 nm (cyan) and a small shoulder peak at ∼528 nm (green). When the pH of the complex was changed to acidic (Complex A), the PL was switched to light green. Such pH-responsive PL properties were demonstrated to be useful for pH and CO2 sensing. The switchable properties originate from their two distinct structural states at two different pHs. We found that Complex A was resistant to high concentrations of a strong reducing agent, and had an intermediate oxidation state of copper (Cu+) with good thermodynamic stability. Furthermore, the switchable catalytic property was investigated with a 4-nitrophenol reduction and 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation reaction. The reduction kinetics followed pseudo-first-order, where the catalytic activity was enhanced by more than 103 times when Complex B was switched to Complex A. A similar trend was also observed for TMB oxidation. Our design strategy demonstrates that redox switchable metal-thiolate complexes could be a powerful candidate for a plethora of applications.

Abstract
A series of platinum(II) complexes bearing a chiral β-diketonato ligand and a cyclometalated ligand have been prepared. The platinum(II) complexes, (SP-4-3)-[Pt(ppy)(D-tac)] (ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, D-tac = 3-trifluoroacetyl-(D)-camphor), (SP-4-4)-[Pt(ppy)(D-tac)], (SP-4-3)-[Pt(ppy)(D-pbc)] (D-pbc = 3-perfluorobutyryl-(D)-camphor), and (SP-4-4)-[Pt(ppy)(D-pbc)], and their enantiomers were isolated and characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and X-ray structural analysis. Photoisomerization between SP-4-3 (trans) and SP-4-4 (cis) isomers was observed. Green emission due to the monomer was observed in diluted solutions for all complexes. Higher quantum yields and longer lifetimes of green emission were observed in nonpolar solvents compared to polar solvents. The two geometrical isomers had surprisingly different excimer formation efficiencies. For the trans isomers, orange emission due to the excimers was observed in nonpolar solvents at high concentrations, whereas negligible intensities of the excimer emission were observed for the cis isomers. The formation of the excimers was evaluated by emission decay and time-resolved emission spectra. For the trans isomers, the green emission due to the monomer showed negligible CPL signals, but the orange emission gave pronounced CPL signals. The dissymmetry factors, g-values, of the excimer CPL (glum = 0.002) were enhanced over those of the circular dichroism (gabs = 0.0002, glum/gabs = 10). The intensities of the emission and the CPL of the excimer under oxygen were very small, although those under an argon atmosphere were very strong. Therefore, the emission color of the trans-isomers was changed from green to orange by deoxygenation.

Abstract
Chiral supramolecular assembly has been assigned to be one of the most favorable strategies for the development of excellent circularly polarized luminescent (CPL)-active materials. Herein, we report our study of an achiral boron-containing pyrene (Py)-based chromophore (PyBO) as a circularly polarized excimer emission (CPEE) dye induced by chiral co-assemblies containing chiral binaphthyl-based enantiomers (R/S-M). Chiral co-assembly R/S-M-(PyBO)4 fresh film spin-coated from toluene solution can exhibit orderly nanofibers and strong green CPEE (λem = 512 nm, gem = ±0.45, ΦFL = 51.2 %) resulting from an achiral PyBO excimer. In contrast, only a very weak blue CPL was observed (λem = 461 nm, gem = ± 0.0125, ΦFL = 19.0 %) after 187 h due to PyBO monomer emission as spherulite growth. Interestingly, this kind of chiral co-assembly R-M-(PyBO)4-T film from tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution retains uniform morphology and affords the most stable and strongest CPEE performance (λem = 512 nm, gem = + 0.62, ΦFL = 53.3 %) after 10 days. Chiral supramolecular assembly is an important strategy for the development of excellent circularly polarized luminescent (CPL)-active materials, but often they suffer from low quantum yield and luminescence dissymmetry factor. Herein, the authors we report a chiral coassembly process of achiral pyrene-based dyes leading to chiral excimers emitting with a high dissymmetry factor.

Abstract
Solid-state lighting technology, where light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for energy conversion from electricity to light, is considered a next-generation lighting technology. One of the significant challenges in the field is the synthesis of high-efficiency phosphors for designing phosphor-converted white LEDs under high flux operating currents. Here, we reported the synthesis, structure, and photophysical properties of a tetranuclear Cu(I)–halide cluster phosphor, [bppmCu2I2]2 (bppm = bisdiphenylphosphinemethane), for the fabrication of high-performance white LEDs. The PL investigations demonstrated that the red emission exhibits a near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield at room temperature and unusual spectral broadening with increasing temperature in the crystalline state. Considering the excellent photophysical properties, the crystalline sample of [bppmCu2I2]2 was successfully applied for the fabrication of phosphor-converted white LEDs. The prototype white LED device exhibited a continuous rise in brightness in the range of a high bias current (100–1000 mA) with CRI as high as 84 and CCT of 5828 K, implying great potential for high-quality white LEDs.

Abstract
Organic fluorescent dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) property have an extensive application range, especially in the fields of imaging, labeling, and adjusting microprocesses in aggregated environments. In particular, the thienoisoindigo skeleton, which exhibits an outstanding electron-withdrawing capacity in optoelectronic materials, has been defined as a promising AIE candidate. For instance, by installing AIE blocks or other rotatable groups at two terminal sites, such as various arylamine groups, thienoisoindigo derivatives can be efficiently turned to be functional AIE structures. In this work, a thienoisoindigo derivative with AIE characteristics, namely, TII-TPE, was developed. This AIE system was expanded by linking typical AIE fragments, namely, tetraphenylethene, with the proposed thienoisoindigo derivative, which exhibited typical AIE fluorescence in the 600-850 nm range and maintained high photostability. Then, employing the reported derivative TII-TPA coating thienoisoindigo and triphenylamine as a contrast, aggregated TII-TPE and TII-TPA nanoparticles were prepared and demonstrated photothermal conversion efficiencies of 36.2 and 35.6%, respectively. Moreover, both nanoparticles were evaluated as photothermal therapeutic (PTT) agents in a tumor mouse model, which showed to significantly inhibit tumor growth after four treatment cycles in vivo. This work not only presents an enriched thienoisoindigo system but also provides a pattern for subsequent construction of functional AIE molecules.

Abstract
Two chiral binaphthyl polymers (R/S-P1 and R/S-P2) with different dihedral angles of the binaphthyl moiety were chosen as chiral inducers to construct chiral co-assemblies with an achiral pyrene-naphthalimide dye (NPy) and then acted as the emitting layer (EML) of circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) devices. The anchored dihedral angle of R/S-P2 not only exhibited the enhanced chirality signal, but also had a strong chirality-inducing effect on the achiral NPy dye in the chiral co-assembly (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 . After annealing at 120 °C, the CPL signal (|gem |) of ordered helical nano-fibers (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 was amplified to 5.6×10-2 , which was about 6-fold larger than that of (R/S-P1)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 . The amplified gem value of (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 was due to the formation of a helical co-assembly through the strong π-π stacking interaction between the R/S-P2 and the achiral NPy. This kind of ordered helical nano-fibers (R/S-P2)0.6 -(NPy)0.4 acted as the EML of CP-OLEDs, and achieved an excellent CP-EL performance (|gEL |=4.8×10-2 ).

Abstract
Kinetically stable and long-lived intermediates are crucial in monitoring the progress and understanding of supramolecular self-assembly of diverse aggregated structures with collective functions. Herein, the complex dynamics of an atomically precise CuI nanocluster [Cu8 (t BuC6 H4 S)8 (PPh3 )4 ] (Cu8a) is systematically investigated. Remarkably, by monitoring the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and electron microscopy of the kinetically stable intermediates in real time, the directed self-assembly (DSA) process of Cu8a is deduced. The polymorphism and different emission properties of Cu NCs aggregates were successfully captured, allowing the structure-optical property relationship to be established. More importantly, the utilization of a mathematical "permutation and combination" ideology by introducing a heterogeneous luminescent agent of a carbon dot (CD) to Cu8a aggregates enriches the "visualization" fluorescence window, which offers great potential in real time application for optical sensing of materials.

Abstract
Controlling the synthesis of chiral metal clusters in the aspects of nuclearity number, metal-metal interaction, and spatial arrangement of metal atoms is crucial for establishing the correlation of detailed structural factors with chiroptical activity. Herein, a series of enantiopure gold complexes with nuclearity numbers ranging from 2 to 5 were constructed and structurally characterized. On the basis of the annulation reaction between two aurated μ2-imido nucleophilic units with various aldehydes, we finely adjusted the metal-metal interaction and torsion angles of a characteristic tetranuclear metal cluster by introducing different substituents into the resulting imidazolidine dianionic chiral skeleton. Further structural investigations, contrast experiments, and time-dependent density functional theory calculations confirmed that the chiroptical response of the acquired asymmetric metal clusters was mainly affected by the geometrically twisted arrangement of metal atoms. Finally, the tetranuclear gold cluster compound with the shortest intermetallic interaction and the largest torsion angle of a Au4 core showed the highest absorption anisotropy factor up to 2.2 × 10-3. In addition, the correlation of structural factors with the stability of chiral gold clusters was thoroughly evaluated by monitoring the CD, UV-vis, and NMR spectra at elevated temperatures. Insight into the relationship between the structural factors with the chiroptical property and stability of chiral gold clusters in this work will help us to design and achieve more stable chiral metal clusters and stimulate their practical applications in chiroptical functional materials.
