Abstract
Currently reported circularly polarized luminescent devices are primarily based on rare earth and noble metal complexes or lead perovskite materials. Reports on electroluminescent devices employing eco-friendly luminescent materials are notably scarce. In this study, we strategically designed and synthesized manganese complexes featuring Binapo as the chiral ligand. The complex structure reveals a tetrahedral coordination configuration, with the R/S configurations exhibiting a mirror relationship. Leveraging the strong ligand field and chiral structural characteristics of Binapo, the enantiomers display red emission and exhibit significant circularly polarized luminescence with a circularly polarized luminescence asymmetric factor (g lum) of 5.1 × 10-3. The circularly polarized electroluminescent performance was investigated by using a solution processing method and host-guest doping strategy. Our efforts resulted in device performance with an external quantum efficiency (EQE) exceeding 4%, and its electroluminescent asymmetric factor (g EL) reached an impressive -8.5 × 10-3. This surpasses the performance of most devices relying on platinum (Pt) and iridium (Ir) metal complexes and perovskite related materials. Our work establishes a pathway for the development of cost-effective and environmentally friendly chiral electroluminescent materials and devices.

Abstract
Macrocyclic thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters have been demonstrated to realize high efficiency OLEDs, but the design concept was still confined to rigid π-conjugated structures. In this work, two macrocyclic TADF emitters, Cy-BNFu and CyEn-BNFu, with a flexible alkyl chain as a linker and bulky aromatic hydrocarbon wrapping units were designed and synthesized. The detailed photophysical analysis demonstrates that the flexible linker significantly enhances the solution-processibility and flexibility of the parent TADF core without sacrificing the radiative transition and high PLQY. Moreover, benefiting from sufficient encapsulation of both horizontal and vertical space, the macrocyclic CyEn-BNFu further isolated the TADF core and inhibited the aggregation caused quenching, which benefits the utilization of triplet excitons. As a result, the non-doped solution-processed OLEDs based on CyEn-BNFu exhibit high maximum external quantum efficiencies (EQE) up to 32.3%, which were 3 times higher than those of the devices based on the parent molecule. In particular, these macrocyclic TADF emitters ensure the fabrication of flexible OLEDs with higher brightness, color purity and bending resistance. This work opens a way to construct macrocyclic TADF emitters with a flexible alkyl chain linker and highlights the benefits of such encapsulated macrocycles for optimizing the performance of flexible solution-processed devices.

Abstract
Chiral multi-resonance thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-MR-TADF) materials hold promise for circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) and 3D displays. Herein, we present two pairs of tetraborated intrinsically axial CP-MR-TADF materials, R/S-BDBF-BOH and R/S-BDBT-BOH, with conjugation-extended bidibenzo[b,d]furan and bidibenzo[b,d]thiophene as chiral sources, which effectively participate in the distribution of the frontier molecular orbitals. Due to the heavy-atom effect, sulfur atoms are introduced to accelerate the reverse intersystem crossing process and increase the efficiency of molecules. R/S-BDBF-BOH and R/S-BDBT-BOH manifest ultra-pure blue emission with a maximum at 458/459 nm with a full width at half maximum of 27 nm, photoluminescence quantum yields of 90 %/91 %, and dissymmetry factors (|gPL|) of 6.8×10-4/8.5×10-4, respectively. Correspondingly, the CP-OLEDs exhibit good performances with an external quantum efficiency of 30.1 % and |gEL| factors of 1.2×10-3.

Abstract
In this report, a new series of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-cationic pyridinium and vinyl pyridinium-modified [2.2]paracyclophanes as useful molecular tectons for supramolecular systems are described. Regioselective functionalization at specific positions, followed by resolution step and successive transformations through Pd-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura and Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling chemistry furnish a series of modular PCP scaffolds. In our proof-of-concept study, on N-methylation, the PCPs bearing (cationic) pyridyl functionalities were demonstrated as useful molecular receptors in host-guest supramolecular assays. The PCPs on grafting with light-responsive azobenzene (-N=N-) functional core as side-groups impart photosensitivity that can be remotely transformed on irradiation, offering photo-controlled smart molecular functions. Furthermore, the symmetrical PCPs bearing bi-, and tetra-pyridyl functionalities at the peripheries have enormous potential to serve as ditopic and tetratopic 3D molecular tectons for engineering non-covalent supramolecular assemblies with new structural and functional attributes.

Abstract
Circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) hold significant promise for applications in 3D displays due to the ability to generate circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) directly. In this study, two pairs of circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) enantiomers, named RR/SS-ONCN and RS/SR-ONCN, were synthesized by integrating two distinct chiral groups into the dicyanobenzene unit. The RR/SS-ONCN and RS/SR-ONCN enantiomers show CPL properties with dissymmetry photoluminescence factors (|gPL|) of 1.3×10-3 and 2.0×10-3 in doped films, respectively. Notably, RR/SS-ONCN exhibit higher |gPL| values than that of RS/SR-ONCN, especially in doped films, indicating that when the configurations of the two chiral groups are identical, the |gPL| value of the CP-TADF materials can be enhanced, demonstrating a certain stacking effect. Moreover, the corresponding CP-OLEDs demonstrate good performances, achieving maximum external quantum efficiencies of up to 21.9 % and notable CP electroluminescence with |gEL| factors of up to 1.0×10-3.

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
Circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) is generally produced in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on special CP luminescent (CPL) materials, while common achiral luminescent materials are rarely considered to be capable of direct producing CP-EL. Herein, near ultraviolet CPL materials with high photoluminescence quantum yields and good CPL dissymmetry factors are developed, which can induce blue to red CPL for various achiral luminescent materials. Strong near ultraviolet CP-EL with the best external quantum efficiencies (ηext s) of 9.0 % and small efficiency roll-offs are achieved by using them as emitters for CP-OLEDs. By adopting them as hosts or sensitizers, commercially available yellow-orange achiral phosphorescence, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and multi-resonance (MR) TADF materials can generate intense CP-EL, with high dissymmetry factors and outstanding ηext s (30.8 %), demonstrating a simple and universal avenue towards efficient CP-EL.

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
In recent years, great progress has been made in the preparation methods and performance regulation of host-guest doped CPL liquid crystal materials. However, there still exist some basic problems to be solved, such as complex packaging and unstable CPL properties. With the consideration of the above problems, in this study, we introduced gelators into the host-guest doped CPL liquid crystal materials to prepare CPL liquid crystal physical gels. The gelators can be assembled to form a nanofiber physical gel network, which limits the movement of the liquid crystals and enhances the stability of the CPL properties. Meanwhile, liquid crystal physical gels show self-supporting ability and the gel-sol phase transition temperature can reach 136 °C. The amplification of the glum value is achieved by self-assembly of chiral liquid crystals, and the glum value can reach -0.31. The phase structure changes with electric field and temperature, and the CPL properties can be regulated by changing the temperature and electric field. With the increasing applied voltage or the temperature, the glum value decreases. Therefore, we have successfully prepared a new type of CPL liquid crystal physical gels with self-supporting performance, stimulus response performance and large glum values.

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.
