Abstract
Chirality is important to chemistry, biology and optoelectronic materials. The study on chirality has lasted for more than 170 years since its discovery. Recently, chiral materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) have attracted increasing interest because of their fascinating photophysical properties. In this review, we discussed the recent development of chiral materials with AIE properties, including their molecular structures, self-assembly and functions. Generally, the most effective strategy to design a chiral AIE luminogen (AIEgen) is to attach a chiral scaffold to an AIE-active fluorophore through covalent bonds. Moreover, some propeller-like or shell-like AIEgens without chiral units exhibit latent chirality upon mirror image symmetry breaking. The chirality of achiral AIEgens can also be induced by some optically active molecules through non-covalent interactions. The introduction of an AIE unit into chiral materials can enhance the efficiency of their circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the solid state and the dissymmetric factors of their helical architectures formed through self-assembly. Thus, highly efficient circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CPOLEDs) with AIE characteristics are developed and show great potential in 3D displays. Chiral AIEgens are also widely utilized as "turn on" sensors for rapid enantioselective determination of chiral reagents. It is anticipated that the present review can entice readers to realize the importance of chirality and attract much more chemists to contribute their efforts to chirality and AIE study.

Abstract
The last decade has witnessed rapid developments in aggregation-induced emission (AIE). In contrast to traditional aggregation, which causes luminescence quenching (ACQ), AIE is a reverse phenomenon that allows robust luminescence to be retained in aggregated and solid states. This makes it possible to fabricate various highly efficient luminescent materials, which opens new paradigms in a number of fields, such as imaging, sensing, medical therapy, light harvesting, light-emitting devices, and organic electronic devices. Of the various important features of AIE molecules, their self-assembly behavior is very attractive because the formation of a well-defined emissive nanostructure may lead to advanced applications in diverse fields. However, due to the nonplanar topology of AIEgens, it is not easy for them to self-assemble into well-defined structures. To date, some strategies have been proposed to achieve the self-assembly of AIEgens. Herein, we summarize the most recent approaches for the self-assembly of AIE molecules. These approaches can be sorted into two classes: 1) covalent molecular design and 2) noncovalent supramolecular interactions. We hope this will inspire more excellent work in the field of AIE.

Abstract
Fluorescent imaging techniques have attracted much attention as a powerful tool to realize the visualization of structural and morphological evolution of various materials. However, the traditional fluorescent dyes usually suffered from aggregation-caused quenching, which severely limits the visualization results. In contrast, aggregation-induced emission (AIE) molecules with high quantum yields in the condensed state showed great opportunities for imaging techniques. In this feature article, recent progresses in visualization with AIE molecules are discussed. Assembly processes including crystallization, gelation process, and dissipative assembly have been observed. To better study information obtained regarding the processes, visualization during reactions, phase transitions, and molecular motions are successfully presented. Based on these successes, AIE molecules were further applied for phase recognition, macro-dispersion evaluation, and damage detection. Finally, we also present the outlook and perspectives, in our opinion, for the development of visualization by AIE molecules.

Abstract
Chiral self-assemblies constantly attract great interest because of their potential to provide insight into biological systems and materials science. Herein we report on the efficient preparation of alanine-based chiral metallacycles, rhomboids 1D and 1L and hexagons 2D and 2L using a Pt(II) ← pyridyl directional bonding approach. The metallacycles are subsequently assembled into nanospheres at low concentration, that generate chiral metallogels at high concentration driven by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic and π-π interactions. The gels consist of microscopic chiral nanofibers with well-defined helicity, as confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) and scanning (SEM) and transmission electron (TEM) microscopies. Given these results, we expect this technique will not only unlock interesting new approaches to understand homochirality in nature but also allow the design of versatile soft materials containing chiral supramolecular cores.
