Circularly Polarized Phosphorescence Energy Transfer Combined with Chirality-Selective Absorption for Modulating Full-Color and White Circularly Polarized Long Afterglow. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202409514. [PMID: 38987891 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202409514] [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: 05/20/2024] [Revised: 06/25/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
Circularly polarized long afterglow (CPLA) attracts great interests in multi-disciplinary fields with significant potentials in optical multiplexing applications, but achieving full-color and white CPLA is still challenging. The present contribution reports the first success in utilizing circularly polarized phosphorescence energy transfer (CPP-ET) combined with chirality-selective absorption (CSA) to construct full-color and white CPLA materials. Blue CPLA with luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum) of 3×10-2 is firstly obtained via the CSA effect of chiral helical polyacetylene and blue ultralong afterglow of inorganic phosphor BP. Significantly, full-color and white CPLA films are prepared by simply blending different fluorophores into the blue-CPLA films via CPP-ET. Benefited from the persistent luminescence of BP, the lifetimes of the fluorophores increase from nanoseconds to minutes, and ultralong full-color CPLA emissions lasting for more than 20 min are realized with glum of 10-3. Also noticeably, chiral optoelectronic devices, multi-dimension information encryption and chiral logic gate are developed based on the full-color tunable CPLA-active materials. The established strategy provides a universal platform for future development of CPLA-active materials with great applications.

Abstract
The strategy of integrating conformational isomerization donors and chiral acceptors in a single molecule was proposed to construct white circularly polarized luminescence (WCPL) materials in this work. Consequently, a pair of dual-emission enantiomers, namely (R/S)-DO-PTZ, were designed and synthesized, which displayed white emission with blue and yellow dual-emission bands in solution and solid films with Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) coordinates of (0.30, 0.33) and (0.33, 0.35), respectively. Meanwhile, (R/S)-DO-PTZ exhibited a high PLQY of up to 67 % in doped films and clear mirror-image WCPL signals with a |glum| value of 3.0×10-3. Moreover, white circularly polarized electroluminescence (WCPEL) based on organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with (R/S)-DO-PTZ as emitters were also achieved with CIE coordinates of (0.32, 0.37) and EQEmax of 4.7 %, representing the state-of-the-art level of white OLEDs based on single-molecule purely organic emitters. By optimizing the device structure, warm WCPEL devices were further obtained with a |gEL| value of 2.8×10-3, CIE coordinates of (0.37, 0.48) and EQEmax of up to 15.6 %. To our knowledge, this is the first report of CP-WOLEDs based on single-molecule purely organic emitters.

Abstract
Circularly polarized room temperature phosphorescence materials represent a state-of-the-art frontier of optical materials and exhibit promising applications in various fields. Herein, we fabricate a series of full-color circularly polarized room temperature phosphorescence materials, based on anionic cellulose derivatives and achiral luminophores. The ionic achiral substituents promote the spontaneous formation of chiral helical structure of cellulose derivatives via the electrostatic repulsion effect. There are multiple interactions between anionic cellulose derivatives and the doped luminophores, thus the chirality is transferred to luminophores and the non-radiative transition is inhibited. The resultant materials can be easily processed into large-scale film and flexible 3D objects with repeatable folding and curling properties. In addition, their phosphorescence performance shows to be excitation-dependence, time-dependence, visible-light excitation, and multi-responsiveness to humidity, temperature as well as pH value. Importantly, they recognize many enantiomers in an instrument-free visual mode, including amino acids, hydroxyl acids, organic phosphate and hydrobenzoin. These results provide insights into design of advanced optical materials which can be applied in multilevel information handling and chiral sensing.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are novel nanomaterials with dimensions less than 10 nm that have attracted much attention due to their outstanding optical properties. However, the development of solid-state fluorescence and afterglow methods has been relatively slow, although the properties of these materials under liquid conditions have been extensively studied. In recent years, embedding CDs in a matrix has been shown to prevent aggregation quenching and inhibit nonradiative transitions, thus realizing solid-state fluorescence and afterglow, which has greatly broadened the research and application areas of CDs. In terms of hydrogen bonding, ionic bonding, covalent bonding and spatial confinement, the interactions between CDs and matrices can effectively realize and improve the solid-state fluorescence and afterglow effects of CDs. Recent applications of CDs in matrices in optoelectronics, information security, sensing, biotherapeutics and imaging are also summarized. Finally, we summarize the challenges and developments of CDs in matrices.

Abstract
Chiroptical nanomaterials with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) performance have aroused increasing attention. Herein, multicolor CPL-active Janus nanofibers are prepared through a simple parallel electrospinning method using chiral helical polyacetylenes as the chiral source and achiral fluorophores as the fluorescent source. Interestingly, despite a direct spatial isolation between the chiral component and the fluorescent component, blue and green CPL emissions can still be obtained due to the fluorescence-selective absorption behavior of chiral helical polyacetylenes, with a satisfactory dissymmetric factor (glum) of 2 × 10-2 and 2.5 × 10-3, respectively. Moreover, by taking advantage of the circular polarization fluorescence energy transfer process, red CPL emission is further achieved using the obtained blue and green CPL as energy donors and the achiral red fluorophore as an energy acceptor. The present work offers a facile approach to prepare multilevel-structured chiroptical materials with promising application potentials in a flexible photoelectric device.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) are nanoscale carbon materials with unique optical properties and biocompatibility. Their applications are limited by their tendency to aggregate or oxidize in aqueous environments. Turning weakness to strengths, CDs can be incorporated with hydrogels, which are three-dimensional networks of crosslinked polymers that can retain large amounts of water. Hydrogels can provide a stable and tunable matrix for CDs, enhancing their fluorescence, stability, and functionality. CDs@hydrogels, known for their ease of synthesis, strong binding capabilities, and rich surface functional groups, have emerged as promising composite materials. In this review, recent advances in the synthesis and characterization of CDs@hydrogels, composite materials composed of CDs and various types of natural or synthetic hydrogels, are summarized. The potential applications of CDs@hydrogels in fluorescence sensing, adsorption, drug delivery, antibacterial activity, flexible electronics, and energy storage are also highlighted. The current challenges and future prospects of CDs@hydrogels systems for the novel functional materials are discussed.

Abstract
Studying the phosphorescent mechanisms of carbon nanostructures synthesized by the "bottom-up" approach is key to understanding the structure modulation and the interfacial properties of carbon nanostructures. In this work, the relationships among symmetry of precursors in the "bottom-up" synthesis, structures of products, and phosphorescence lifetimes of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are studied. The symmetry matching of precursors in the formation of a D6h graphene-like framework is considered the key factor in controlling the separability of sp2 domains in GQDs. As the separability of sp2 domains in GQDs increases, the phosphorescence lifetimes (14.8-125.5 ms) of GQDs in the solid state can be tuned. Machine learning is used to define the degree of disorder (S) of the GQD structure, which quantitatively describes the different space groups of precursors. The negative correlation between S and the oscillator strength of GQDs is uncovered. Therefore, S can be recognized as reflective of oscillator strength in the GQD structure. Finally, based on the correlations found between the structures and phosphorescence lifetimes of GQDs, GQDs with an ultralong phosphorescence lifetime (28.5 s) are obtained. Moreover, GQDs with visible phosphorescence emission (435-618 nm) are synthesized.

Abstract
The design of functional supramolecular assemblies from individual molecular building blocks is a fundamental challenge in chemistry and material science. We report on the fabrication of "honeycomb" films by light-induced coassembly of diacetylene derivatives and carbon dots. Specifically, modulating noncovalent interactions between the carbon dots, macrocyclic diacetylene, and anthraquinone diacetylene facilitates formation of thin films exhibiting a long-range, uniform pore structure. We show that light irradiation at distinct wavelengths plays a key role in the assembly process and generation of unique macro-porous morphology, by both initiating interactions between the carbon dots and the anthraquinone moieties and giving rise to the topotactic polymerization of the polydiacetylene network. We further demonstrate utilization of the macro-porous film as a photocatalytic platform for water pollutant degradation and as potential supercapacitor electrodes, both applications taking advantage of the high surface area, hydrophobicity, and pore structure of the film.

Abstract
ConspectusCircularly polarized luminescence (CPL) generated by chiral luminescent systems has sparked enormous attention in multidisciplinary field as it brings infinite potential for applications, such as 3D optical displays, biological probes, and chiroptical sensors. Satisfying both the conditions of chirality and luminescence (including fluorescence or phosphorescence) is a prerequisite for constructing CPL materials. In this regard, whether in organic, inorganic, or hybrid systems, chiral and luminescent components generally involve effective coupling through covalent or noncovalent bonds. For covalent interactions, such as the copolymerization of chiral and luminescent monomers, although covalent bonds provide high stability for the system, they inevitably involve tedious preparation procedures that connect chirality and luminescence together. For noncovalent bonds, take supramolecular assembly as an example, chiral elements and achiral light-emitting units are chiral transferred through intermolecular interactions, and their advantages include the diversity of luminescent and chiral building blocks, the stimuli responsiveness brought by noncovalent bonds, as well as the potential amplification of CPL signals by coassembly. However, the stability of the assembly system may be poor, and the assembly chiroptical performance and morphology are difficult to predict. Gratifyingly, matching rule that do not rely on covalent together with noncovalent interactions allows for the effortless construction, modulation, as well as amplification of CPL systems.In this Account, we overview different strategies based on matching rule, including fluorescence-selective absorption, circularly polarized reflection, and circularly polarized fluorescence energy transfer (CPF-ET). Examples of these strategies are illustrated with a focus on helical polymers in light of their appealing structures and wide uses. For instance, for fluorescence-selective absorption, chiral helical polymers can convert racemic fluorescence light into a circularly polarized one with specific handedness by simply overlapping the helical polymer's circular dichroism (CD) spectra with the luminophore's emission spectra. For circularly polarized reflection, employing the selective reflection of certain handedness's circularly polarized light, the high helical twisting power (HTP) of the helical polymer in the cholesteric liquid crystals (N*-LCs) gives the system high glum. Additionally, for CPF-ET, only the emission spectrum of the donor and the absorption (or excitation) spectrum of the achiral acceptor are required to overlap, and no covalent or noncovalent interactions between the two are required. An outlook for the CPL materials related to matching rule which will avail the optimization and extension of this intriguing approach concludes the Account. We hope that the Account will offer insightful inspiration for the flourishing progress of chiroptical systems and present exciting opportunities.

Abstract
Carbonized polymer dots (CPDs) with a circularly polarized fluorescence property have received increasing attention in recent years. However, it is still a great challenge to construct circularly polarized room-temperature phosphorescence (CPRTP) CPDs. Herein, a simple approach to the synthesis of intrinsically CPRTP CPDs for the first time by utilizing sodium alginate and l-/d-arginine as precursors under relatively mild reaction conditions is presented. Notably, the CPDs exhibit both chirality and green RTP in solid states. Furthermore, color-tunable CPRTP is successfully achieved by engineering chiral light-harvesting systems based on circularly polarized phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (C-PRET) where the CPDs with green RTP function as an initiator of chirality and light absorbance, and commercially available fluorescent dyes with different emission colors ranging from yellow to red serve as the terminal acceptors. Through one-step or sequential C-PRET, the light-harvesting systems can simultaneously furnish energy transfer and chirality transmission/amplification. Given the multicolor long afterglow, lifetime-tunable, and CPRTP properties, their potential applications in multiple information encryption are demonstrated.

Abstract
Chiral CDots (c-CDots) not only inherit those merits from CDots but also exhibit chiral effects in optical, electric, and bio-properties. Therefore, c-CDots have received significant interest from a wide range of research communities including chemistry, physics, biology, and device engineers. They have already made decent progress in terms of synthesis, together with the exploration of their optical properties and applications. In this review, the chiroptical properties and chirality origin in extinction circular dichroism (ECD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) of c-CDots is briefly discussed. Then, the synthetic strategies of c-CDots is summarized, including one-pot synthesis, post-functionalization of CDots with chiral ligands, and assembly of CDots into chiral architectures with soft chiral templates. Afterward, the chiral effects on the applications of c-CDots are elaborated. Research domains such as drug delivery, bio- or chemical sensing, regulation of enzyme-like catalysis, and others are covered. Finally, the perspective on the challenges associated with the synthetic strategies, understanding the origin of chirality, and potential applications is provided. This review not only discusses the latest developments of c-CDots but also helps toward a better understanding of the structure-property relationship along with their respective applications.

Abstract
In this concept, we showcase the upsurge in the studies of dynamic ultralong room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials containing inorganic and/or organic components as versatile photo-responsive platforms. The goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of photo-controllable RTP, and meanwhile delve into the underlying RTP properties of various classes of photochromic materials including metal-organic complexes, organic-inorganic co-crystals, purely organic small molecules and organic polymers. In particular, the design principles governing the integration of the photochromic and RTP moieties within a single material system, and the tuning of dynamic RTP in response to light are emphasized. As such, this concept sheds light on the challenges and opportunities of using these tunable RTP materials for potential applications in optoelectronics, particularly highlighting their use of reversible information encryption, erasable light printing and rewritable smart paper.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials are the research frontier of chiral luminescence. As a kind of luminescent carbon material, carbon dots (CDs) are expected to become excellent candidates for the construction of CPL materials. However, the construction of CD-based circularly polarized afterglow emission, especially multicolor and near-infrared emission, remains a great challenge due to aggregation-caused quenching and the instability of triplet excitons. In this work, we synthesized chiral CDs with aggregation-induced emission using dithiosalicylic acid and l/d-arginine as precursors through a one-step solvothermal method. Notably, the CDs exhibit green delayed fluorescence (DF) in poly(vinyl alcohol) films. Furthermore, multicolor and near-infrared circularly polarized delayed fluorescence is successfully realized via engineering a chiral light-harvesting system in which the CDs with green DF emission act as energy donors and fluorescent dyes with emission colors ranging from yellow to the near infrared serve as energy acceptors.

Abstract
Potassium ferricyanide (K4[Fe(CN)6]) as anti-caking agent plays an important role in avoiding the formation of chunks for fine particulate solids. However, inappropriate and excessive addition and decomposition of K4[Fe(CN)6] are detrimental to physical health. At present, appropriate strategies for convenient and accurate analysis of K4[Fe(CN)6] in table salt and pickled food are desirable. Herein, an efficient "ON-OFF-ON" fluorescent sensor based on chiral carbon dots was prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The chiral CDs with L-Tryptophan and D-Tryptophan as chiral source were named as L-CDs and D-CDs. Notably, the bright fluorescence of L/D-CDs could be effectively quenched by K4[Fe(CN)6] through dynamic quenching mechanism. This fluorescent sensor achieved excellent sensitive and selective detection of K4[Fe(CN)6] with a limit of detection (LOD) of 25.0 ng·mL-1. In addition, the L/D-CDs could be applied not only for selective fluorescent recognition of K4[Fe(CN)6] by the methods of portable filter paper and hydrogels, but also as fluorescent dye for repeated message encryption and decryption.

Abstract
Functional nanomaterials made by chiral induction have attracted extensive attention because of their intriguing characteristics and potential applications. However, the precise and controllable fabrication of chiral nanomaterials still remains challenging but is highly desired. In this study, chiral unimolecular micelles with different molecular weights and chiroptical activities were prepared by photoinduced atom transfer radical polymerization (photoATRP). Through nanoconfined growth, the chiral plasmonic nanoparticle assemblies with predesigned size and morphology were prepared using chiral unimolecular micelles as nanoreactors. The controllability over chiral assemblies and the size effect on chiroptical properties were also investigated. Furthermore, chiral complexes with absorption asymmetry and circularly polarized luminescence (glum = 4.25 × 10-4) were easily constructed via mixing of organic fluorescent molecules and chiral templates based on intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Such results indicated that our unimolecular-micelle-based templates enable the controllable preparation of both inorganic and organic chiral nanostructures with tailored dimensions, sizes, compositions, and optical activities.

Abstract
The discovery of chiral carbon dots (Ch-CDs) has opened up an exciting new research direction in the field of carbon dots. It not only retains the chirality of the precursor and exhibits highly symmetric chiral optical properties but also has properties such as chemical stability, antibacterial and antitumor properties, and good biocompatibility of carbon dots. Based on these advantages, the application of Ch-CDs in the biomedical field has attracted significant interest among researchers. However, a comprehensive review of the selection of precursors for Ch-CDs, preparation methods, and applications in biomedical fields is still lacking. Here, we summarize their precursor selection and preparation methods based on recent reports on Ch-CDs and provide the first comprehensive review for specific applications in biomedical engineering, such as biosensing, bioimaging, drug carriers, antibacterial and antibiofilm, and enzyme activity modulation. Finally, we discuss application prospects and challenges that need to be overcome. We hope this review will provide valuable guidance for researchers to prepare novel Ch-CDs and facilitate their application in biomedical engineering.
