Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has attracted significant attention in the fields of chiral photonic science and optoelectronic materials science. In a CPL-emitting system, a chiral luminophore derived from chiral molecules is usually essential. In this review, three non-classical CPL (NC-CPL) systems that do not use enantiomerically pure molecules are reported: (i) supramolecular organic luminophores composed of achiral organic molecules that can emit CPL without the use of any chiral auxiliaries, (ii) achiral or racemic luminophores that can emit magnetic CPL (MCPL) by applying an external magnetic field of 1.6 T, and (iii) circular dichroism-silent organic luminophores that can emit CPL in the photoexcited state as a cryptochiral CPL system.

Two novel chiral molecules 1 and 2 were designed and synthesized. 1 displayed evident CPL activity, whereas 2 served as a highly selective and sensitive “turn-off” fluorescent chemosensor for Cu2+.

Considering the widespread interest in the chiroptical properties of materials, especially circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), the functionalization of bipyrenol (BPy) was carried out aiming at future advanced chiral materials (ACMs) in which BPy shows a high quantum yield and clear CPL spectra. To create ACMs using BPy units that contain nucleophilic substituents, amine and thiol were selected as the functional group and attached to BPy by means of alkyl linkages. The obtained thiol and amine derivatives are stable under ambient conditions. To demonstrate the potential of these molecules, photoinduced electron-transfer systems were synthesized.

An oligoamylose-strapped porphyrin displayed circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) in the S1 state despite being silent in circular dichroism (CD) in the ground state, suggesting chirality induction in the photoexcited porphyrin moiety from the oligoamylose-strap in the photoexcited state.

Chiral organic and organometallic luminophores that possess circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties in the near-ultraviolet to near-infrared region have several useful applications. However, the CPL properties are subject to inherent factors of the compounds; to date, studies on the CPL properties influenced by amino acids and peptides are scarce. Consequently, we developed peptide-pyrene organic luminophores exhibiting various CPL properties. It is conceivable that the peptide-pyrene organic luminophores can be obtained as aggregates when dissolved in a solution. It is also possible that the formation of aggregates makes it difficult to accurately examine the CPL of the peptide in the solution. This study showed that the introduction of sterically hindered 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) units into the peptide backbone inhibits aggregate formation. The resulting luminophores exhibit CPL properties owing to the presence of pyrene units. The results of this study can form a basis for the design of future materials that use peptide-pyrene organic luminophores.

By regulating the composition of solvents, the assembled nanostructures of chiral molecules transformed from 0D nanospheres to 3D nanoflakes, which showed significantly amplified circularly polarized luminescence.
