Abstract
Exploring novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) molecules with high efficiency and good stability in aqueous solutions is crucial for achieving highly sensitive detection of analytes. However, developing chiral luminophores with efficient ECL performance is still a challenge. Herein, we first uncover that artemisinin (ART), a well-known chiral antimalarial drug, features a strong ECL emission at 726 nm with the assistance of a co-reactant potassium persulfate (K2S2O8), and an ECL efficiency of 195.3%, compared to that of standard Ru(bpy)3Cl2/K2S2O8. Mechanistic studies indicate that the strong ECL signal of ART is generated when the excited state formed by the reduction of ART peroxide bonds and combination with persulfate returns to the ground state. Significantly, we found that the ECL sensor based on chiral ART could efficiently identify and detect chiral cysteine (Cys) through ECL signals, with a lower limit of detection of 3.7 nM for l-Cys. Density functional theory calculations and scanning electrochemical microscopy technology further confirm that the disparity in the ECL signals is attributed to the different affinity between chiral ART and d/l-Cys, resulting in distinct electron transfer rates. The study demonstrates a new role of ART in ECL investigation and for the first time, achieves the development of ART for the enantioselective recognition and sensitive detection of chiral substances. This will be of vital significance for ECL and chirality research.

Abstract
Although several studies related with the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technique have been reported for chiral discrimination, it still has to face some limitations, namely, complex synthetic pathways and a relatively low recognition efficiency. Herein, this study introduces a facile strategy for the synthesis of ECL-active chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) employed as a chiral recognition platform. In this artificial structure, ruthenium(II) coordinated with the dipyridyl unit of the COF and enantiopure cyclohexane-1,2-diamine was harnessed as the ECL-active unit, which gave strong ECL emission in the presence of the coreactant reagent (K2S2O8). When the as-prepared COF was used as a chiral ECL-active platform, clear discrimination was observed in the response of the ECL intensity toward l- and d-enantiomers of amino acids, including tryptophan, leucine, methionine, threonine, and histidine. The biggest ratio of the ECL intensity between different configurations was up to 1.75. More importantly, a good linear relationship between the enantiomeric composition and the ECL intensity was established, which was successfully employed to determine the unknown enantiomeric compositions of the real samples. In brief, we believe that the proposed ECL-based chiral platform provides an important reference for the determination of the configuration and enantiomeric compositions.

Abstract
Electrochemiluminescence (ECL), integrating the characteristics of electrochemistry and fluorescence, has the advantages of high sensitivity and low background. However, only a few studies have been reported for enantioselective sensing based on the ECL-active platform because of the huge challenges in constructing tunable chiral ECL luminophores. Here, we developed a facile strategy to design and prepare ECL-active chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) Ph-triPy+-(R)-Ru(II) for enantioselective sensing. In such an artificial structure, the ionic skeleton of COFs was beneficial to the electron transfer on the working electrode surface and the chiral Ru-ligand was used as the chiral ECL-active luminophore. It was found that Ph-triPy+-(R)-Ru(II) coupled with sodium persulfate (Na2S2O8) as the coreactant exhibited obvious ECL signals. More importantly, a clear difference toward l- and d-enantiomers was observed in the response of the ECL intensity, resulting in a uniform recognition law. That is, for amino alcohols, d-enantiomers (1 mM) measured by Ph-triPy+-(R)-Ru(II) showed a higher ECL intensity compared with l-enantiomers. Differently, amino acids (1 mM) gave an inverse recognition phenomenon. The ECL intensity ratios between l- and d-enantiomers (1 mM) are in the range of 1.25-1.94 for serine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, valine, leucine, leucinol, and valinol. What is more interesting is that the ECL intensity was closely related to the concentration of l-amino alcohols and d-amino acids, whereas their inverse configurations remained unchanged. In a word, the present concept demonstrates a feasible direction toward chiral ECL-active COFs and their potential for efficient enantioselective sensing.

Abstract
Chiral two bladed complexes of [Co(L)2][BF4]2 (1) and [Zn(L)2][BF4]2 (2) containing an atropoisomeric semi-rigid bidentate ligand L were synthesized and characterized. They are obtained as homochiral species but in a racemic mixture via a ligand self-sorting mechanism. These enantiomers can be differentiated in solution using optically active anions.
