Abstract
Circularly polarized (CP) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have attracted attention in potential applications, including novel display and photonic technologies. However, conventional approaches cannot meet the requirements of device performance, such as high dissymmetry factor, high directionality, narrowband emission, simplified device structure, and low costs. Here, we demonstrate spin-valley-locked CP-OLEDs without chiral emitters but based on photonic spin-orbit coupling, where photons with opposite CP characteristics are emitted from different optical valleys. These spin-valley-locked OLEDs exhibit a narrowband emission of 16 nm, a high external quantum efficiency of 3.65%, a maximum luminance of near 98,000 cd/m2, and a gEL of up to 1.80, which are among the best performances of active single-crystal CP-OLEDs, achieved with a simple device structure. This strategy opens an avenue for practical applications toward three-dimensional displays and on-chip CP-OLEDs.

Abstract
Phosphorescent material with narrowband emission is crucial for advancing wide-color-gamut organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In this work, two iridium(III) complexes, (PhthzICz)2Ir(tmd) and (thzICz)2Ir(tmd), using rigid 2-(benzothiazole-2-yl)indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (PhthzICz) and 2-(thiazole-2-yl)indolo[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (thzICz) as cyclometalated ligands and 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedione (tmd) as ancillary ligands, were synthesized. When these complexes were doped into the host material 3,3'-di(9H-carbazol-9-yl)-1,1'-biphenyl, the doped films exhibited yellow photoluminescence (PL) peaking at 537 and 531 nm, full width at half maximum (FWHM) bands of 35 and 60 nm, and PL quantum yields of 89.9% and 85.9%, respectively. OLEDs based on these two emitters display moderate performance characteristics with maximum external quantum efficiencies of 25.2% and 22.7%. Notably, the device based on (PhthzICz)2Ir(tmd) exhibits a narrow FWHM of 31 nm. Overall, the study highlights the practicality of incorporating rigid groups into the cyclometalated ligands of Ir(III) complexes as a viable strategy for achieving efficient Ir(III) complexes for OLEDs with narrow emission and high efficiency.

Abstract
An asymmetric intramolecular spiro-amination to high steric hindering α-C-H bond of 1,3-dicarbonyl via nitrene transfer using inactive aryl azides has been carried out by developing a novel Cp*Ir(III)-SPDO (spiro-pyrrolidine oxazoline) catalyst, thereby enabling the first successful construction of structurally rigid spiro-quaternary indolinone cores with moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. DFT computations support the presence of double bridging H-F bonds between [SbF6]- and both the ligand and substrate, which favors the plane-differentiation of the enol π-bond for nitrenoid attacking. These findings open up numerous opportunities for the development of new asymmetric nitrene transfer systems.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), as an important chiroptical phenomenon, can not only directly characterize excited-state structural information about chiroptical materials but also has great application prospects in 3D optical displays, information storage, biological probes, CPL lasers and so forth. Recently, chiral organic small molecules with CPL have attracted a lot of research interest because of their excellent luminescence efficiency, clear molecular structures, unique flexibility and easy functionalization. Planar chiral organic compounds make up an important class of chiral organic small molecular materials and often have rigid macrocyclic skeletons, which have important research value in the field of chiral supramolecular chemistry (e.g., chiral self-assembly and chiral host-guest chemistry). Therefore, research into planar chiral organic compounds has become a hotspot for CPL. It is time to summarize the recent developments in CPL-active compounds based on planar chirality. In this feature article, we summarize various types of CPL-active compounds based on planar chirality. Meanwhile, we overview recent research in the field of planar chiral CPL-active compounds in terms of optoelectronic devices, asymmetric catalysis, and chiroptical sensing. Finally, we discuss their future research prospects in the field of CPL-active materials. We hope that this review will be helpful to research work related to planar chiral luminescent materials and promote the development of chiral macrocyclic chemistry.

Abstract
To realize strong donor-acceptor face-to-face stacking for efficient through-space charge transfer-type thermally activated delayed fluorescence, a conceptually new design strategy is proposed to couple flexible bridges with adequate rigidity via built-in intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IHBs). The resulting emitter ACE-CN has a planarized benzyl methyl ether bridge self-anchored by the C-H···O IHB and shows a high photoluminescence quantum efficiency of 93%. The solution- and vacuum-processed devices exhibited high external quantum efficiencies of 11.8% and 24.7%, respectively.

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
Recently, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) molecules with through-space charge transfer (TSCT) features have been widely applied in developing organic light-emitting diodes with high luminescence efficiencies. The performance of TSCT-TADF molecules depends highly on their molecular structures. Therefore, theoretical investigation plays a significant role in designing novel highly efficient TSCT-TADF molecules. Herein, we theoretically investigate two recently reported TSCT-TADF molecules, 1'-(2,12-di-t-butyl[1,4]benzoxaborinino[2,3,4-kl]phenoxaborinin-7-yl)-10-phenyl-10H-spiro[acridine-9,9'-fluorene] (AC-BO) and 1-(2,12-di-t-butyl[1,4]benzoxaborinino[2,3,4-kl]phenoxaborinin-7-yl)-9',9'-dimethyl-9'H-spiro [fluorene-9,5'-quinolino[3,2,1-de]acridine](QAC-BO). The calculated photophysical properties (e.g. excited state energy levels and luminescence properties) for these two compounds are in good agreement with experimental data. Based on the systematic analysis of structure-performance relationships, we design three novel TSCT-TADF molecules with high molecular rigidity and evident TSCT features, i.e., DQAC-DBO, DQAC-SBO, and DQAC-NBO. They exhibit deep-blue light emissions and fast reverse intersystem crossing rates (KRISCs). Our calculations demonstrate that the nearly coplanar orientation of the donor and acceptor is critical to achieve remarkable KRISCs and fluorescence efficiencies in TSCT-TADF molecules.

Abstract
Linearly polarized organic light-emitting diodes have become appealing functional expansions of polarization optics and optoelectronic applications. However, the current linearly polarized diodes exhibit low polarization performance, cost-prohibitive process, and monochromatic modulation limit. Herein, we develop a switchable dual-color orthogonal linear polarization mode in organic light-emitting diode, based on a dielectric/metal nanograting-waveguide hybrid-microcavity using cost-efficient laser interference lithography and vacuum thermal evaporation. This acquired diode presents a transverse-electric/transverse-magnetic polarization extinction ratio of 15.8 dB with a divergence angle of ±30°, an external quantum efficiency of 2.25%, and orthogonal polarized colors from green to sky-blue. This rasterization of dielectric/metal-cathode further satisfies momentum matching between waveguide and air mode, diffracting both the targeted sky-blue transverse-electric mode and the off-confined green transverse-magnetic mode. Therefore, a polarization-encrypted colorful optical image is proposed, representing a significant step toward the low-cost high-performance linearly polarized light-emitting diodes and electrically-inspired polarization encryption for color images.

Abstract
Our report describes the facile and scalable preparation of 9H-thioxanthen-9-one 10,10-dioxides via Pd-catalyzed sulfonylative homocoupling of the appropriately substituted benzophenones. This transformation provides a straightforward route to previously unreported sulfone-fluoresceins and -fluorones. Several examples of these red fluorescent dyes have been prepared, characterized, and evaluated as live-cell permeant labels compatible with super-resolution fluorescence microscopy with 775 nm stimulated emission depletion.

Abstract
Chiral B/N embedded multi-resonance (MR) emitters open a new paradigm of circularly polarized (CP) organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) owing to their unique narrowband spectra. However, pure-red CP-MR emitters and devices remain exclusive in literature. Herein, by introducing a B-N covalent bond to lower the electron-withdrawing ability of the para-positioned B-π-B motif, the first pair of pure-red double hetero-[n]helicenes (n = 6 and 7) CP-MR emitter peaking 617 nm with a small full-width at half-maximum of 38 nm and a high photoluminescence quantum yield of ≈100% in toluene is developed. The intense mirror-image CP light produced by the enantiomers is characterized by high photoluminescence dissymmetry factors (gPL ) of +1.40/-1.41 × 10-3 from their stable helicenes configuration. The corresponding devices using these enantiomers afford impressive CP electroluminescence dissymmetry factors (gEL ) of +1.91/-1.77 × 10-3 , maximum external quantum efficiencies of 36.6%/34.4% and Commission Internationale de I'Éclairage coordinates of (0.67, 0.33), exactly satisfying the red-color requirement specified by National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) standard. Notably a remarkable long LT95 (operational time to 95% of the initial luminance) of ≈400 h at an initial brightness of 10,000 cd m-2 is also observed for the same device, representing the most stable CP-OLED up to date.

Abstract
Simple and accurate in vivo monitoring of Fe3+ is essential for gaining a better understanding of its role in physiological and pathological processes. A novel fluorescent probe was synthesized via in situ solid-state polymerization of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT) in the pore channels of a covalent organic framework (COF). The PEDOT@COF fluorescent probe exhibited an absolute quantum yield (QY) 3 times higher than COF. In the presence of Fe3+ the PEDOT@COF 475 nm fluorescence emission, 365 nm excitation, is quenched within 180 s. Fluorescence quenching is linear with Fe3+ in the concentration range of 0-960 μM, with a detection limit of 0.82 μM. The fluorescence quenching mechanism was attributed to inner filter effect (IEF), photoinduced electron transfer (PET) and static quenching (SQE) between PEDOT@COF and Fe3+. A paper strip-based detector was designed to facilitate practical applicability, and the PEDOT@COF probe successfully applied to fluorescence imaging of Fe3+ levels in vivo. This work details a tool of great promise for enabling detailed investigations into the role of Fe3+ in physiological and pathological diseases.

Abstract
Chiral π-conjugated polycycles have garnered increasing attention due to versatile applications in optoelectronic materials and biological sciences. In this study, we report the synthesis of chiral π-conjugated polycycles incorporating a chiral epoxycyclooctadiene moiety. Our synthetic strategy capitalizes on the novel reactions of hetera-buckybowl triselenasumanene (TSS) and is achieved in two-step manner. Firstly, the TSS is regio-selectively transformed into its ortho-quinone form. Subsequently, the nucleophilic addition reactions of TSS ortho-quinone by phenylethynides are metal ion-dependent. When utilizing (phenylethynyl)magnesium bromide as the nucleophile, two phenylethynyls are furnished onto the edged benzene ring of TSS. When the nucleophile is (phenylethynyl)lithium, a cascade of nucleophilic addition, intermolecular electron-transfer, ring-opening, and tetradehydro-Diels-Alder (TDDA) reactions occur sequentially in one-pot, ultimately affording chiral π-conjugated polycycles featuring the epoxycyclooctadiene moiety as an integral part of their backbones. This work represents a step forward in the synthesis of chiral π-conjugated polycycles using TSS as synthon.

Abstract
Realizing high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in the near-infrared (NIR) region is challenging and valuable for luminescent material, especially for thermally activated delay fluorescence (TADF) material. In this work, we report two achiral cyclic trinuclear Au(I) complexes, Au3 (4-Clpyrazolate)3 and Au3 (4-Brpyrazolate)3 (denoted as Cl-Au and Br-Au), obtained through the reaction of 4-chloro-1H-pyrazole and 4-bromo-1H-pyrazole with Au(I) salts, respectively. Both Cl-Au and Br-Au exhibit TADF with high PLQY (>70 %) in the NIR I (700-900 nm) (λmax = 720 nm) region, exceeding other NIR-TADF emitters in the solid state. Photophysical experiments and theoretical calculations confirmed the efficient NIR-TADF properties of Cl-Au and Br-Au were attributed to the small energy gap ΔE(S1-T2) (S = singlet, T = triplet) and the large spin-orbital coupling induced by ligand-to-metal-metal charge transfer of molecular aggregations. In addition, both complexes crystallize in the achiral Pna21 space group (mm2 point group) and are circularly polarized light (CPL) active with maxima luminescent dissymmetry factor |glum | of 3.4 × 10-3 (Cl-Au) and 2.7 × 10-3 (Br-Au) for their crystalline powder samples, respectively. By using Cl-Au as the emitting ink, 3D-printed luminescent logos are fabricated, which own anti-counterfeiting functions due to its CPL behavior dependent on the crystallinity.

Abstract
Realizing high luminescence dissymmetry factor (g) in circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials remains a big challenge, which necessitates understanding systematically how their molecular structure controls the CPL. Here we investigate representative organic chiral emitters with different transition density distributions and reveal the pivotal role of transition density in CPL. We rationalize that to obtain large g-factors, two conditions should be simultaneously satisfied: (i) the transition density for the S1 (or T1)-to-S0 emission must be delocalized over the entire chromophore; and (ii) the chromophore inter-segment twisting must be restricted and tuned to an optimal value (∼50°). Our findings offer molecular-level insights into the CPL of organic emitters, with potential applications in the design of chiroptical materials and systems with strong CPL effects.

Abstract
Chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are usually endowed by chiral linkers and/or guests. The strategy using chiral secondary building units in MOFs for solving the trade-off of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active materials, high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) and high dissymmetry factors (|glum |) has not been demonstrated. This work directionally assembles predesigned chiral silver clusters with ACQ linkers through reticular chemistry. The nanoscale chirality of the cluster transmits through MOF's framework, where the linkers are arranged in a quasi-parallel manner and are efficiently isolated and rigidified. Consequently, this backbone of chiral cluster-based MOFs demonstrates superb CPL, high PLQYs of 50.3%, and |glum | of 1.2 × 10-2 . Crystallographic analyses and DFT calculations show the quasi-parallel arrangement manners of emitting linkers leading to a large angle between the electric and magnetic transition dipole moments, boosting CPL response. As compared, an ion-pair-direct assembly without interactions between linkers induces one-ninth |glum | and one-sixth PLQY values, further highlighting the merits of directional arrangement in reticular nets. In addition, a prototype CPL switching fabricated by a chiral framework is controlled through alternating ultraviolet and visible light. This work is expected to inspire the development of reticular chemistry for high-performance chiroptical materials.

Abstract
Perovskites are promising environmentally sustainable materials for circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL). While another chiral nonemissive layer is required for the developed perovskite-based CPEL, we report herein a highly efficient circularly polarized electroluminescence based on a single layer of quasi-2D perovskite with achiral phenethylammonium iodide (PEAI) and chiral S/R-1-(1-naphthyl)ethylammonium iodide (S/R-NEAI) as dual spacer cations. The quasi-2D perovskite was further passivated by carbazole-functionalized phosphonium. The as-fabricated film exhibits not only a circular dichroism (CD) signal but also prominent circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity with a maximum photoluminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of ∼2.1 × 10-3. More importantly, a highly efficient, spin-polarized light-emitting diode (LED) was fabricated based on the in situ passivated quasi-2D perovskite with a peak external quantum efficiency of 3.7% and a maximum electroluminescence dissymmetry factor (gEL) of ∼4.0 × 10-3.

Abstract
Two kinds of chiral hosts, named (R/S)-BN-mCP and (R/S)-BN-2mCP, are prepared. Solution processable circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) based on the chiral hosts and achiral emitter Ir(mypp)3 present the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) and dissymmetry factor values (gEL) of 12.7%/-1.7 × 10-3 and 17.1%/-1.3 × 10-3, respectively. Using (R)-BN-2mCP as the chiral host and Ir(mypp)3 and Ir(piq)2(acac) as the achiral emitters, the solution-processed OLED exhibits a broad emission spectrum with the EQEmax of 12.1% and gEL of -1.1 × 10-3.

Abstract
Chiral boron/nitrogen doped multiple resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) emitters are promising for highly efficient and color-pure circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs). Herein, we report two pairs of MR-TADF materials (Czp-tBuCzB, Czp-POAB) based on planar chiral paracyclophane with photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 98 %. The enantiomers showed symmetric circularly polarized photoluminescence spectra with dissymmetry factors |gPL | of up to 1.6×10-3 in doped films. Meanwhile, the sky-blue CP-OLEDs with (R/S)-Czp-tBuCzB showed an external quantum efficiency of 32.1 % with the narrowest full-width at half-maximum of 24 nm among the reported CP-OLEDs, while the devices with (R/S)-Czp-POAB displayed the first nearly pure green CP electroluminescence with |gEL | factors at the 10-3 level. These results demonstrate the incorporation of planar chirality into MR-TADF emitter is a reliable strategy for constructing of efficient CP-OLEDs.

Abstract
It is well-known that high-performance circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) remain a formidable challenge to the future application of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL)-active materials. Herein, the design of a pair of AIE-active chiral enantiomers (L/D-HP) is described to construct chiral co-assemblies with an achiral naphthalimide dye (NTi). The resulting co-assemblies emit an inverted CPL signal compared with that from the L/D-HP enantiomers. After thermal annealing at 120 °C, the inverted CPL signal of this kind of L/D-HP-NTi with a 1:1 molar ratio shows regular and ordered helical nanofibers arranged through intermolecularly ordered layered packing and is accompanied with a further amplified effect (|gem | = 0.032, λem = 535 nm). Significantly, non-doped CP-OLEDs based on a device emitting layer (EML) of L/D-HP-NTi exhibits a low turn-on voltage (Von ) of 4.7 V, a high maximum brightness (Lmax ) of 2001 cd m-2 , and moderate maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax ) of 2.3%, as well as excellent circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) (|gEL | = 0.023, λem = 533 nm).

Abstract
The fabrication of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL) organic dyes based on macrocyclic architecture has become an importantly studied topic in recent years because it is of great importance to both chiral science and supramolecular chemistry, where pillar[n]arenes are emerging as a promising class of planar chiral macrocyclic hosts for CPL. We herein synthesized an unusual planar chiral charge-transfer dye (P5BB) by covalent coupling of triarylborane (Ar3B) as an electron acceptor to parent pillar[5]arene as an electron donor. The intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) nature of P5BB not only caused a thermally responsive emission but also boosted the luminescence dissymmetry factor (g lum). Interestingly, the specific binding of fluoride ions changed the photophysical properties of P5BB, including absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), and CPL, which could be exploited as an optical probe for multi-channel detection of fluoride ions. Furthermore, the chiroptical changes were observed upon addition of 1,4-dibromobutane as an achiral guest.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has attracted much interest due to its potential applications on chiral photonic techniques and optoelectronic materials science. As known, dissymmetry factor (gem ) of CPL is one essential factor for evaluating the features of CPL-active materials. Much attention has focused on how to increase the gem value, which is one of the most important issues for CPL practical applications. Recently, more and more works have demonstrated that chiral supramolecular could provide the significant strategy to improve the gem value through the orderly helical superstructure of chiral building blocks. Normally, this kind of chiral supramolecular assembly process can be accompanied by chirality transfer and induction mechanism, which can promote the amplification effect on the induced CPL of achiral dyes. In this review, we fully summarized recent advances on the induced CPL-active materials of chiral supramolecular co-assemblies, their applications in circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) and current challenges.

Circularly polarized electroluminescence from a single-crystal organic microcavity light-emitting diode based on photonic spin-orbit interactions. Nat Commun 2023; 14:31.

Abstract
Circularly polarized (CP) electroluminescence from organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) has aroused considerable attention for their potential in future display and photonic technologies. The development of CP-OLEDs relies largely on chiral-emitters, which not only remain rare owing to difficulties in design and synthesis but also limit the performance of electroluminescence. When the polarization (pseudospin) degrees of freedom of a photon interact with its orbital angular momentum, photonic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) emerges such as Rashba-Dresselhaus (RD) effect. Here, we demonstrate a chiral-emitter-free microcavity CP-OLED with a high dissymmetry factor (gEL) and high luminance by embedding a thin two-dimensional organic single crystal (2D-OSC) between two silver layers which serve as two metallic mirrors forming a microcavity and meanwhile also as two electrodes in an OLED architecture. In the presence of the RD effect, the SOIs in the birefringent 2D-OSC microcavity result in a controllable spin-splitting with CP dispersions. Thanks to the high emission efficiency and high carrier mobility of the OSC, chiral-emitter-free CP-OLEDs have been demonstrated exhibiting a high gEL of 1.1 and a maximum luminance of about 60000 cd/m2, which places our device among the best performing CP-OLEDs. This strategy opens an avenue for practical applications towards on-chip microcavity CP-OLEDs.

Abstract
Zero-dimensional (0D) hybrid metal halides with perfect host-guest structures are promising candidates to construct circularly polarized luminescence (CPL)-active materials. However, it still remains challenging to obtain 0D chiral metal halides with simultaneously strong CPL and high photoluminescence quantum yield. Here, a new enantiomeric pair of 0D hybrid lead-tin bromides, (RR/SS-C6 N2 H16 )2 Pb0.968 Sn0.032 Br6 ⋅ 2H2 O (R/S-PbSnBr ⋅ H2 O), is reported. The R/S-PbSnBr ⋅ H2 O compounds not only show intriguing self-trapped exciton emissions with near-unity quantum yield, but also present intense CPL with a dissymmetry factor glum of ±3.0×10-3 . Such CPL activities originate from the asymmetric [SnBr6 ]4- luminophores in R/S-PbSnBr ⋅ H2 O, due to the induced structural chirality by the organic ligands via N-H⋅⋅⋅Br hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, CPL emissions with tunable colors from R/S-PbSnBr ⋅ H2 O and dehydrated compounds are reversibly observed, which extends their chiroptical applications.

Abstract
Organic materials with multi-stimulus response (MSR) properties have demonstrated many potential and practical applications. Herein, a π-stacked thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) material with multi-stimulus response (MSR) properties, named SDMAC, was designed and synthesized using distorted 9,9-dimethyl-10-phenyl-9,10-dihydroacridine as a donor. SDMAC possesses a rigid π-stacked configuration with intramolecular through-space interactions and exhibits aggregation-induced emission enhancement (AIEE), solvatochromic, piezochromic, and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) under different external stimuli. The rigid molecular structure and efficient TADF properties of SDMAC can be used in displays and lighting. Using SDMAC as an emitter, the maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the fabricated organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) is as high as 28.4 %, which make them the most efficient CP-TADF OLEDs based on the through-space charge transfer strategy. The CP organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) exhibit circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) signals.

Abstract
Highly efficient circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) emitters with narrowband emission remain a formidable challenge for circularly polarized OLEDs (CP-OLEDs). Here, a promising strategy for developing chiral emitters concurrently featuring multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF) and circularly polarized electroluminescence (CPEL) is demonstrated by the integration of molecular rigidity, central chirality and MR effect. A pair of chiral green emitters denoted as (R)-BN-MeIAc and (S)-BN-MeIAc is designed. Benefited by the rigid and quasi-planar MR-framework, the enantiomers not only display mirror-image CPL spectra, but also exhibit TADF properties with a high photoluminescence quantum yield of 96 %, a narrow FWHM of 30 nm, and a high horizontal dipole orientation of 90 % in the doped film. Consequently, the enantiomer-based CP-OLEDs achieved excellent external quantum efficiencies of 37.2 % with very low efficiency roll-off, representing the highest device efficiency of all the reported CP-OLEDs.

Abstract
In this study, we report the first circularly polarized white organic light-emitting diodes (CP-WOLEDs) based on all thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials. Two pairs of spiro-type TADF enantiomers, (R/S)-SPOCN (5,5'-((2,2',3,3'-tetrahydro-1,1'-spirobi[indene]-7,7'-diyl)bis(oxy))bis(4-(10H-phenoxazin-10-yl)phthalonitrile)) and (R/S)-OSFSO (2'-(trifluoromethyl)-spiro[quinolino[3,2,1-kl]phenoxazine-9,9'-thioxanthene]-10',10'-dioxide), serve as emitters with complementary emission. The CP-OLEDs exhibit warm white emission with a CIE coordinate of (0.35, 0.46). Besides, decent device performances are observed with an external quantum efficiency of up to 21.6 % at maximum and 11.8 % at 1000 cd m-2 . Obvious circularly polarized electroluminescence signals are detected with a dissymmetry factor |gEL | of around 3.0×10-3 . This is the first report of CP-WOLEDs that can harvest both singlet and triplet excitons, which provides a feasible strategy for the development of CP-WOLEDs with remarkable device performances.

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
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that can simultaneously achieve narrowband emission, high efficiency, and circularly polarized luminescence remain a formidable challenge. In this study, a simple strategy is developed to address this challenge. A chiral exciplex-forming co-host is first designed by employing a chiral donor and an achiral acceptor molecule. The chiral exciplex host enables an achiral green multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence emitter to achieve high-performance circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) with a high external quantum efficiency of 33.2%, large electroluminescence dissymmetry factor of 2.8 × 10-3 , and a small full-width at half-maximum of 42 nm. This work provides a general approach for realizing CP-EL using easily available achiral emitters and can significantly extend the scope of circularly polarized OLEDs.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) switches have attracted widespread attention due to their potential applications in advanced information technologies. However, the design and fabrication of solid-state multiple-responsive CPL switches remain challenging. Here, through self-assembly of chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and perovskite nanocrystals (NCs), a pair of crystalline enantiomeric (P)-(+)/(M)-(-)-EuMOF⊃MAPbX3 (MA = CH3 NH3 + , X = Cl- , Br- , I- ) adducts is prepared, where the achiral MAPbBr3 perovskite NCs embedded into chiral MOFs inherit the chirality of host MOFs by host-guest EuBr and PbO coordination bonds, which is demonstrated by synchrotron-radiation-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The chiral adducts show enhanced photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY), good thermal stability of CPL in air, and photoswitchable CPL properties upon altering different UV irradiation. Based on two chiral emission centers and their different characteristics, reversible CPL switches are realized upon a diversity of external stimuli, for example, chemicals (water /CH3 NH3 Br solution) or temperatures (room temperature/high temperature). Benefiting from the extraordinary stimuli-responsive and highly reversible switchable CPL, multiple information encryptions and decryptions integrated with CPL, together with a chiroptical logic gate are successfully designed. This work opens a new avenue to generally fabricate solid-state CPL composite materials and develops new applications based on switchable CPL.

Abstract
Two novel chiral conjugated polymers R-P and S-P designed and synthesized from a pair of circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) enantiomers are presented in this work. The two polymers exhibited excellent TADF properties with small singlet-triplet energy gaps (ΔEST) of 0.045 and 0.061 eV and relatively high photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs) of 72 and 76%, respectively. Besides, intense mirror-image circularly polarized luminescence signals were detected from R-P and S-P in both solution and film states with dissymmetry factors (|glum|) of up to 1.9 × 10-3. Furthermore, solution-processed circularly polarized polymer light-emitting diodes (CP-PLEDs) fabricated with R-P and S-P achieved high maximum external quantum efficiencies of 14.9 and 15.8% and high maximum brightness (Lmax) of 8940 and 12,180 cd/m2 with yellowish-green emission peaks at 546 and 544 nm, respectively. Moreover, intense circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with electroluminescence dissymmetry factors (gEL) of -1.5 × 10-3 and +1.6 × 10-3 were detected from the CP-PLED devices fabricated with R-P and S-P, respectively.

Abstract
Circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) and multiple-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (MR-TADF), which exhibit novel circularly polarized luminescence and excellent color fidelity, respectively, have gained immense popularity. In this study, integrated CP-TADF and MR-TADF (CPMR-TADF) are prepared by strategic design and synthesis of asymmetrical peripherally locked enantiomers, which are separated and denoted as (P,P″,P″)-/(M,M″,M″)-BN4 and (P,P″,P″)-/(M,M″,M″)-BN5 and exhibit TADF and circularly polarized light (CPL) properties. As the entire molecular frame participates in the frontier molecular orbitals, the resulting helical chirality of (+)/(-)-BN4- and (+)/(-)-BN5-based solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) helps in achieving a narrow full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 49/49 and 48/48 nm and a high maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.6%/19.0% and 22.0%/26.5%, respectively. Importantly, unambiguous circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with dissymmetry factors (gEL ) of +3.7 × 10-3 /-3.1 × 10-3 (BN4) and +1.9 × 10-3 /-1.6 × 10-3 (BN5) are obtained. The results indicate successful exploitation of CPMR-TADF-emitter-based OLEDs to exhibit three characteristics: high efficiency, color purity, and circularly polarized light.

Abstract
Through-space charge-transfer (TSCT) emitters have been extensively explored for thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), but arranging various donors and acceptors into rigid cofacial conformations for various efficient TSCT TADF emitters has remained challenging. Here, we report a "fixing acceptor" design to reach various efficient TSCT TADF emitters. By chemically fixing the acceptor (benzophenone) with a rigid spiro-structure and cofacially aligning various donors with the fixed acceptor, a series of efficient TSCT TADF emitters have been developed. Single-crystal structures and theoretical calculations have verified closely packed cofacial donor/acceptor conformations and favorable TSCT in the emitters. In doped films, the emitters afford sky blue to yellow TADF emission, with high photoluminescence efficiencies up to 0.92 and reverse intersystem crossing rates up to 1.0 × 106 s-1. Organic light-emitting diodes using the emitters afford sky blue to yellow electroluminescence with high external quantum efficiencies up to 20.9%. The work opens a new avenue toward a wide variety of efficient TSCT TADF emitters.

Abstract
A pair of axially chiral organic enantiomers were facilely prepared through a one-pot sequential synthesis. They exhibit circularly polarized luminescence activities and have thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties. Meanwhile, these two enantiomers present remarkable and reversible thermochromism in the crystalline state, enabling dual-colour TADF switching between orange and red. However, when they form cocrystals, the resulting racemate shows opposite thermochromic behaviors. These intriguing results probably emanate from their different optical activities, leading to distinct molecular packing modes and molecular conformation variations. Moreover, information encryption based on thermochromism of organic enantiomers and their racemate has been presented for the first time. This work may expand the application scope of chiral organic luminogens and pave a new way to construct intelligent luminescent systems. A pair of axially chiral organic enantiomers with circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence and aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties show opposite thermochromic behaviors to their racemate.![]()

Abstract
The development of small organic CPL-active molecules with large luminescent dissymmetry factors is highly demanded due to their promising applications in chiroptical devices and sensors. This work describes the design and synthesis of a new family of CPL-active BF2 complexes, (Rp)/(Sp)-3a-3e, which were constructed by fusing a N̂O-chelated BF2 complex with [2.2]paracyclophane. These complexes display aggregation-amplified CPL with moderate dissymmetry factors values and moderate quantum yields both in solution and in the solid state. In addition, these photophysical properties were rationalized via X-ray diffraction and TD-DFT calculations.

Abstract
Planar chiral organic fluorescent materials that exhibit high chiral stability, high efficiency and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) currently remain an unresolved issue despite their promising applications in optical encryption and 3D-display. Herein, a pair of new donor-chiral π-acceptor (D-π*-A) type planar chiral thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) enantiomers, namely R/S-PXZ-PT, are developed. Such a D-π*-A type structure completely suppresses the racemisation of the planar chirality, making it possible to prepare circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) by vacuum deposition processing. Moreover, this design perfectly integrates the chiral unit into the luminescent unit to achieve intense CPL activity with luminescence asymmetry factors (glum) of ±1.9 × 10-3. Notably, the enantiomer-based devices exhibit a yellow coloured emission with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.1%, and mirror-image circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with electroluminescence dissymmetry factors (gEL) of +1.5 × 10-3/-1.3 × 10-3. This work not only enriches the diversity of chiral TADF molecular design, but also provides a new perspective for the development of highly-efficient CP-OLEDs with stable planar chiral TADF materials.

Abstract
Chirality of 1,1'-binaphthol (BINOL) is due to the restricted rotation between two naphthalene rings, and its skeletal structure of binaphthyl unit can be further modified by choosing functionalized substituents to afford the enlarged chiral induction effect. In this paper, we designed and synthesized nine chiral binaphthyl derivatives (R/S-1-R/S-9) as circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) inducers by inserting various bridged alkyl chains into the hydroxyl groups of BINOL or introducing functionalized substituents with different steric hindrances on the 3,3'-position of 2,2'-methylenedioxy-1,1'-binaphthalene. Their molecular conformations and CPL behaviors of nine chiral inducers were significantly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain and the degree of substituent steric hindrance, which could further regulate their chiral induction effect on achiral fluorescent polymer F8BT from small to large in the doped films. Moreover, in virtue of the planar rigid conjugated molecular conformation of R/S-1, R/S-6, and R/S-9, the amplified CPL signals (|gPL|) were detected as high as 2.36 × 10-2, 2.06 × 10-2, and 1.26 × 10-2 from blends of F8BT and these chiral inducers. The circularly polarized organic light-emitting diode (CP-OLED) device on the blends of F8BT and chiral inducers (R/S-6) with small dihedron angle and excellent carrier mobility showed a low turn-on voltage (Von < 4.5 V), high brightness (> 10509.6 cd/m2), and maximum |gEL| value of 1.86 × 10-2 (F8BT + 5% R/S-6). This work can develop and provide a valuable reference for CP-OLED device design through chiral dopant induction.
