Abstract
The chiral discrimination of enantiomers is crucial for drug screening and agricultural production. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is proposed for discriminating enantiomers benefiting from chiral plasmonic materials. However, the mechanism of enantioselective SERS is unclear, and fluctuating SERS intensities may result in errors. Herein, this work demonstrates a reliable SERS substrate using chiral Au nanocrystals with finely modulated chiral fields and internal standards. Chiral electromagnetic fields are enhanced after modulation, which is conducive to increasing the difference in the enantiomeric SERS intensity, as evidenced by the experimental and simulation results. Furthermore, the SERS stability is improved by the corrective effect of the internal standards, and the relative standard deviation is significantly reduced. Using finely modulated chiral fields and internal standards, L- and D-phenylalanine exhibit a stable six times difference in SERS ratio. Theoretical simulations reveal that linearly polarized light can also excite the chiral fields of chiral Au nanocrystals, indicating non-chiral far-field light is converted into chiral near-field sources by chiral Au nanocrystals. Thus, the mechanism of enantioselective SERS can be elucidated by the scattering difference of chiral molecules in chiral near fields. This study will pave the way for the development of enantioselective SERS and related chiroptical technologies.

Abstract
To explore the chirality induction and switching of topological chirality, poly[2]catenanes composed of helical poly(phenylacetylenes) (PPAs) main chain and topologically chiral [2]catenane pendants are described for the first time. These poly[2]catenanes with optically active [2]catenanes on side chains were synthesized by polymerization of enantiomerically pure topologically chiral [2]catenanes with ethynyl polymerization site and/or point chiral moiety. The chirality information of [2]catenane pendants was successfully transferred to the main chain of polyene backbones, leading to preferred-handed helical conformations, while the introduction of point chiral units has negligible effect on the overall helices. More interestingly, attributed to unique dynamic feature of the [2]catenane pendants, these polymers revealed dynamic response behaviors to solvents, temperature, and sodium ions, resulting in the fully reversible switching on/off of the chirality induction. This work provides not only new design strategy for novel chiroptical switches with topologically chiral molecules but also novel platforms for the development of smart chiral materials.

Abstract
Dynamic helical polymers can change their helicity according to external stimuli due to the low helix-inversion barriers, while helicity stabilization for polymers is important for applications in chiral recognition or chiral separations. Here, we present a convenient methodology to stabilize dynamic helical conformations of polymers through intramolecular cross-linking. Thermoresponsive dendronized poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) carrying 3-fold dendritic oligoethylene glycol pendants containing cinnamate moieties were synthesized. These polymers exhibit typical features of dynamic helical structures in different solvents, that is, racemic contracted conformations in less polar organic solvents and predominantly one-handed stretched helical conformations in highly polar solvents. This dynamic helicity can be enhanced through selective solvation by increasing the polarity of the organic solvents or simply via their thermally mediated dehydration in water. However, through photocycloaddition of the cinnamate moieties between the neighboring pendants via UV irradiation, these dendronized PPAs adopt stable helical conformations either below or above their phase transition temperatures in water, and their helical conformations can even be retained in less polar organic solvents. Spectroscopic and atomic force microscopy measurements demonstrate that photocycloaddition between the cinnamate moieties occurs on the individual molecular level, and this is found to be helpful in restraining the photodegradation of the PPA backbones. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal that the spatial orientation of the pendants along the rigid polyene backbone is crucial for the photodimerization of cinnamates within one helix pitch.

Abstract
AbstractThe helix reversal is a structural motif found in helical polymers in the solid state, but whose existence is elusive in solution. Herein, we have shown how the photochemical electrocyclization (PEC) of poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) can be used to determine not only the presence of helix reversals in polymer solution, but also to estimate the screw sense excess. To perform these studies, we used a library of well folded PPAs and different copolymers series made by enantiomeric comonomers that show chiral conflict effect. The results obtained indicate that the PEC of a PPA will depend on the helical scaffold adopted by the PPA backbone and on its folding degree. Then, from these studies it is possible to determine the screw sense excess of a PPA, highly important in applications such as chiral stationary phases in HPLC or asymmetric synthesis.

Abstract
Chiral recognition is of importance not only in living systems but also in estimating the optical purity of enantiomeric drugs and fabricating advanced materials. Herein we report a novel self-reporting activated ester-amine reaction that can provide multi-channel visual detection of organic amines. It relies on the reaction extent dependent cis-transoid to cis-cisoid helical transition of the polyphenylacetylene backbone and the thus triggered fluorescence. Owing to the high selectivity, this visual process can recognize structurally diverse achiral amines and quantitatively check the impurity content. It also shows an outstanding enantioselectivity towards various chiral amines and can be applied to determine enantiomeric composition. The multiple responses in absorption, circular dichroism, photoluminescence, and circularly polarized luminescence make the helical transition of the polymer backbone a potential detection mode for high-throughput screening of chiral chemicals.

Abstract
The helical sense control of dynamic helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is greatly affected when they are conjugated to AuNPs through a strong thiol-Au connection, which restricts conformational changes at the polymer. Thus, the classical thiol-MNP bonds must be replaced by weaker ones, such as supramolecular amide-Au interactions. A straightforward preparation of the PPA-Au nanocomposite by reduction of a preformed PPA-Au3+ complex cannot be used due to a redox reaction between the two components of the complex which degrades the polymer. To avoid the interaction between the PPA and the Au3+ ions before the reduction takes place, the metal ions are added to the polymer solution capped as a TOAB complex, which keeps the PPA stable due to the lack of PPA-Au3+ interactions. Ulterior reduction of the Au3+ ions by NaBH4 affords the desired nanocomposite, where the AuNPs are stabilized by supramolecular anilide-AuNPs interactions. By using this approach, 3.7 nm gold nanoparticles are generated and aligned along the polymer chain with a regular distance between particles of 6 nm that corresponds to two helical pitches. These nanocomposites show stimuli-responsive properties and are also able to form macroscopically chiral nanospheres with tunable size.

Abstract
The first example of luminescent monosubstituted polyacetylenes (mono-PAs) is presented, based on a contracted cis-cisoid polyene backbone. It has an excellent circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) performance with a high dissymmetric factor (up to the order of 10-1 ). The luminescence stems from the helical cis-cisoid PA backbone, which is tightly fixed by the strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds, thereby reversing the energy order of excited states and enabling an emissive energy dissipation. CPL switches are facilely achieved by the solvent and temperature through reversible conformational transition. By taking advantages of fast response and high sensitivity, the thin film of mono-PAs could be used as a CPL-based probe for quantitative detection of trifluoroacetic acid with a wider linear dynamic range than those of photoluminescence and circular dichroism. This work opens a new avenue to develop novel smart CPL materials through modulating conformational transition.

All-dielectric chiral-field-enhanced Raman optical activity. Nat Commun 2021; 12:3062.

Abstract
Raman optical activity (ROA) is effective for studying the conformational structure and behavior of chiral molecules in aqueous solutions and is advantageous over X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in sample preparation and cost performance. However, ROA signals are inherently minuscule; 3–5 orders of magnitude weaker than spontaneous Raman scattering due to the weak chiral light–matter interaction. Localized surface plasmon resonance on metallic nanoparticles has been employed to enhance ROA signals, but suffers from detrimental spectral artifacts due to its photothermal heat generation and inability to efficiently transfer and enhance optical chirality from the far field to the near field. Here we demonstrate all-dielectric chiral-field-enhanced ROA by devising a silicon nanodisk array and exploiting its dark mode to overcome these limitations. Specifically, we use it with pairs of chemical and biological enantiomers to show >100x enhanced chiral light–molecule interaction with negligible artifacts for ROA measurements. Raman optical activity (ROA) is useful for studying conformational structure and behavior of chiral molecules, but is limited by the weak signals. Here, the authors demonstrate 100x signal enhancement via an all-dielectric approach, using a silicon nanodisk array and exploiting its dark mode.

Abstract
Photochemical electrocyclization of poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is used for the structural elucidation of a polyene backbone. This method not only allows classification of PPAs in cis-cisoidal (ω1 <90°) or cis-transoidal structures (ω1 >90°), but also approximating ω1 . A PPA solution is illuminated with visible light and monitoring the photochemical electrocyclization of the PPA helix by measuring the ECD spectra at different times. PPAs with a cis-cisoidal structure show a reduction of the ECD signal of at least 50 % before 30 min of irradiation, while cis-transoidal helices need much longer time because the transoidal bond must be isomerized. The different cis-cisoidal and cis-transoidal helices require different times to decrease their ECD signal by 50 % (t1/2 ), depending on the degree of compression or stretching of the helix, establishing a relationship between the secondary structure adopted by PPA (ω1 ) and the time required to lose the ECD vinylic signal by light irradiation.

Abstract
Chiral π-conjugated molecules provide new materials with outstanding features for current and perspective applications, especially in the field of optoelectronic devices. In thin films, processes such as charge conduction, light absorption, and emission are governed not only by the structure of the individual molecules but also by their supramolecular structures and intermolecular interactions to a large extent. Electronic circular dichroism, ECD, and its emission counterpart, circularly polarized luminescence, CPL, provide tools for studying aggregated states and the key properties to be sought for designing innovative devices. In this review, we shall present a comprehensive coverage of chiroptical properties measured on thin films of organic π-conjugated molecules. In the first part, we shall discuss some general concepts of ECD, CPL, and other chiroptical spectroscopies, with a focus on their applications to thin film samples. In the following, we will overview the existing literature on chiral π-conjugated systems whose thin films have been characterized by ECD and/or CPL, as well other chiroptical spectroscopies. Special emphasis will be put on systems with large dissymmetry factors (gabs and glum) and on the application of ECD and CPL to derive structural information on aggregated states.

Abstract
A chiral harvesting transmission mechanism is described in poly(acetylene)s bearing oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene)s (OPEs) used as rigid achiral spacers and derivatized with chiral pendant groups. The chiral moieties induce a positive or negative tilting degree in the stacking of OPE units along the polymer structure, which is further harvested by the polyene backbone adopting either a P or M helix.
