Abstract
In current approaches for circularly polarized phosphorescent materials, the crystallization of chiral phosphors suffers from poor processability, while integrating them into an amorphous polymer matrix results in unsatisfactory chiroptical signals due to the absence of chirality communication. Here, we have developed an innovative strategy through chiral supramolecular polymerization of benzil phosphors facilitated by intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The inherent film-forming capabilities of non-covalent supramolecular polymers obviate the need for an external polymer matrix. The pronounced helical asymmetry of benzil phosphors resulting from chiral supramolecular polymerization leads to enhanced circularly polarized phosphorescence compared to their non-hydrogen-bonded counterparts. The circularly polarized phosphorescent signals can be further modulated by varying the location of stereogenic centers or introducing halogen bonding to benzils. Incorporation of platinum(II) phosphor into the benzil supramolecular polymers induces both chirality and triplet-to-triplet energy transfer, leading to a change in circularly polarized phosphorescent color from yellow to red. In summary, chiral supramolecular polymerization of phosphors represents a novel and effective approach to circularly polarized phosphorescent materials.

Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry enables the manipulation of functional components on a molecular scale, facilitating a "bottom-up" approach to govern the sizes and structures of supramolecular materials. Using dynamic non-covalent interactions, supramolecular polymers can create materials with reversible and degradable characteristics and the abilities to self-heal and respond to external stimuli. Pillar[n]arene represents a novel class of macrocyclic hosts, emerging after cyclodextrins, crown ethers, calixarenes, and cucurbiturils. Its significance lies in its distinctive structure, comparing an electron-rich cavity and two finely adjustable rims, which has sparked considerable interest. Furthermore, the straightforward synthesis, uncomplicated functionalization, and remarkable properties of pillar[n]arene based on supramolecular interactions make it an excellent candidate for material construction, particularly in generating interpenetrating supramolecular polymers. Polymers resulting from supramolecular interactions involving pillar[n]arene find potential in various applications, including fluorescence sensors, substance adsorption and separation, catalysis, light-harvesting systems, artificial nanochannels, and drug delivery. In this context, we provide an overview of these recent frontier research fields in the use of pillar[n]arene-based supramolecular polymers, which serves as a source of inspiration for the creation of innovative functional polymer materials derived from pillar[n]arene derivatives.

Abstract
A series of coil-rod-coil molecules containing a 9,10-distyrylanthracene (DSA) core was successfully synthesized. The flexible parts of these molecules are composed of different polyethylene oxide chains. These molecules with aggregation-induced luminescence properties can be assembled into micelles, spheres, and sheet-like nano-assemblies in aqueous solution and have a strong ability to form charge-transfer complexes with the electron-deficient small molecules 2,4,5,7-tetranitro-9-fluorenone and 2,4,6-trinitrophenol. Interestingly, under ultraviolet light irradiation, the DSA structure undergoes photolysis and induces the disappearance of the aggregation-induced luminescence phenomena, giving these molecules application potential as a photodegradable material. In addition, these molecules are suitable organic dyes for information encryption and anti-counterfeiting applications.

Abstract
Through McMurry coupling reaction, three meso-position functionalized pillar[5]arene derivatives (H-1, H-2, and H-3) have been successfully prepared by embedding aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens, diphenyldibenzofulvene (DPDBF) and tetraphenylethylene (TPE)) into the skeleton of supramolecular macrocycles. H-1, bearing [15 ]paracyclophane ([15 ]PCP) and DPDBF moiety, exhibits yellow emission and demonstrates obvious AIE effect. In order to further improve the host-guest properties of this type of structure, H-2 and H-3 are prepared by replacing the [15 ]PCP moiety with pillar[5]arene backbone, both of which show significant AIE effect and excellent host-guest complexation properties with pyrazine salt guest G-1 and 1,4-dicyanobutane G-2. Our findings indicate that G-1 can decrease the fluorescence intensity of the AIE macrocycles, while G-2 can increase their fluorescence intensity in solution.
