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
Achieving a high emission efficiency and a large luminescence asymmetry factor (glum) in a single molecule exhibiting circularly polarised thermally activated delayed fluorescence (CP-TADF) remains a formidable challenge. In this work, a proof-of-concept, liquid-crystalline CP-TADF molecule is proposed to realise high glum by taking advantage of the order inherent in liquid crystals. Employing a chiral dinaphthol-based CP-TADF molecule as the emissive unit, a pair of liquid-crystalline CP-TADF molecules (R/S-4) is synthesised via the introduction of six mesogenic moieties. The enantiomers show intense emission at about 520 nm which has clear TADF and liquid-crystalline characteristics. Both enantiomers display symmetrical electronic circular dichroism (CD) and circular polarisation luminescence (CPL) signals as thin films. Impressively, relatively large glum values of 0.11 are realised for the films. Solution-processed devices were fabricated using R/S-4 as the dopants, with the TADF molecule CzAcSF as the sensitiser. The OLEDs so prepared show a very high maximum external quantum efficiency of 21.2%, revealing a novel strategy for realising large glum values in CP-TADF.

Abstract
Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials are promising candidates for future display technology. However, such highly efficient emitters suffer from the issues of difficult chiral separation and low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). In this work, the chiral 4,4'-biphenanthrene-3,3'-diol (BIPOL) unit was introduced into a thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) framework for the first time. We presented two series of enantiomers, R/S-o-DCzBPNCN and R/S-p-DCzBPNCN, and the synthesis of enantiopure BIPOL can be prepared via normal column chromatography. Notably, o-DCzBPNCN showed narrow singlet-triplet gap of 0.05 eV, efficient TADF, and high PLQYs of 82 % in doped films. In addition, R/S-o-DCzBPNCN exhibited high luminescence dissymmetry factor (gPL ) values of -1.94×10-2 /+1.91×10-2 in doped films. The strategy of BIPOL introduction offers a new approach to organic emitters with stereospecific synthesis, TADF, and chiroptical properties.

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
It is well-known that high-performance circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) remain a formidable challenge to the future application of circularly polarized luminescent (CPL)-active materials. Herein, the design of a pair of AIE-active chiral enantiomers (L/D-HP) is described to construct chiral co-assemblies with an achiral naphthalimide dye (NTi). The resulting co-assemblies emit an inverted CPL signal compared with that from the L/D-HP enantiomers. After thermal annealing at 120 °C, the inverted CPL signal of this kind of L/D-HP-NTi with a 1:1 molar ratio shows regular and ordered helical nanofibers arranged through intermolecularly ordered layered packing and is accompanied with a further amplified effect (|gem | = 0.032, λem = 535 nm). Significantly, non-doped CP-OLEDs based on a device emitting layer (EML) of L/D-HP-NTi exhibits a low turn-on voltage (Von ) of 4.7 V, a high maximum brightness (Lmax ) of 2001 cd m-2 , and moderate maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax ) of 2.3%, as well as excellent circularly polarized electroluminescence (CP-EL) (|gEL | = 0.023, λem = 533 nm).

Abstract
Organic semiconductors can be designed and constructed in π-stacked structures instead of the conventional π-conjugated structures. Through-space interaction (TSI) occurs in π-stacked optoelectronic materials. Thus, unlike electronic coupling along the conjugated chain, the functional groups can stack closely to facilitate spatial electron communication. Using π-stacked motifs, chemists and materials scientists can find new ways for constructing materials with aggregation-induced emission (AIE), thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF), circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), and room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP), as well as enhanced molecular conductance. Organic optoelectronic devices based on π-stacked molecules have exhibited very promising performance, with some of them exceeding π-conjugated analogues. Recently, reports on various organic π-stacked structures have grown rapidly, prompting this review. Representative molecular scaffolds and newly developed π-stacked systems could stimulate more attention on through-space charge transfer the well-known through-bond charge transfer. Finally, the opportunities and challenges for utilizing and improving particular materials are discussed. The previous achievements and upcoming prospects may provide new insights into the theory, materials, and devices in the field of organic semiconductors.

Abstract
Flexible regulation of chirality and handedness of chiral functional materials and quantitative sensing of natural chiral compounds remains a considerable challenge. Herein, an achiral fluorescent 1-pyrenecarboxylic acid-benzimidazole derivative (PBI) was synthesized and its chiroptical properties upon coassembly with chiral acids (TA and MA) and octafluoronaphthalene (OFN) through hydrogen bonds between benzimidazole and chiral acids as well as an arene-perfluoroarene (AP) interaction between a pyrene moiety and OFN were systemically studied. The binary assemblies of PBI/TA and PBI/MA displayed opposite chiroptical properties including circular dichroism (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signals. Interestingly, the handedness of CPL was further inverted in ternary assemblies due to the synergistic effect of the AP interaction and hydrogen bonds. Besides, the highly accurate chiral sensing of chiral acids via binary assemblies was successfully achieved with a high correlation coefficient. This work provides a simple method for regulating the handedness of chiroptical active materials and quantitative sensing of chiral acids through orthogonal multiple component coassemblies.

Abstract
A pair of axially chiral organic enantiomers were facilely prepared through a one-pot sequential synthesis. They exhibit circularly polarized luminescence activities and have thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) and aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties. Meanwhile, these two enantiomers present remarkable and reversible thermochromism in the crystalline state, enabling dual-colour TADF switching between orange and red. However, when they form cocrystals, the resulting racemate shows opposite thermochromic behaviors. These intriguing results probably emanate from their different optical activities, leading to distinct molecular packing modes and molecular conformation variations. Moreover, information encryption based on thermochromism of organic enantiomers and their racemate has been presented for the first time. This work may expand the application scope of chiral organic luminogens and pave a new way to construct intelligent luminescent systems. A pair of axially chiral organic enantiomers with circularly polarized thermally activated delayed fluorescence and aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties show opposite thermochromic behaviors to their racemate.![]()

Abstract
Planar chiral organic fluorescent materials that exhibit high chiral stability, high efficiency and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) currently remain an unresolved issue despite their promising applications in optical encryption and 3D-display. Herein, a pair of new donor-chiral π-acceptor (D-π*-A) type planar chiral thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) enantiomers, namely R/S-PXZ-PT, are developed. Such a D-π*-A type structure completely suppresses the racemisation of the planar chirality, making it possible to prepare circularly polarized organic light-emitting diodes (CP-OLEDs) by vacuum deposition processing. Moreover, this design perfectly integrates the chiral unit into the luminescent unit to achieve intense CPL activity with luminescence asymmetry factors (glum) of ±1.9 × 10-3. Notably, the enantiomer-based devices exhibit a yellow coloured emission with a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 20.1%, and mirror-image circularly polarized electroluminescence signals with electroluminescence dissymmetry factors (gEL) of +1.5 × 10-3/-1.3 × 10-3. This work not only enriches the diversity of chiral TADF molecular design, but also provides a new perspective for the development of highly-efficient CP-OLEDs with stable planar chiral TADF materials.

Abstract
Three pairs of planar chiral heteroarenes were synthesized using palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig coupling and hypervalent iodine-mediated oxidative cyclization from optically pure 4-amino[2.2]paracyclophane. Among them, an enantiomer of planar chiral azahelicene was found to have circularly polarized luminescence activity that was remarkably stronger than that of planar chiral heteroarenes.

Abstract
A couple of fluorescent enantiomers, which are suitable for the emitters of high-efficiency TADF-sensitized CP-OLEDs, have been developed. The enantiomers show configurational stability, high PLQY of 98 %, large kr of 7.8×107 s-1 , and intense CPL activities with |glum | values of about 2.5×10-3 . Notably, by using matchable TADF sensitizer, the enantiomers were then exploited as emitter to fabricate CP-OLEDs. The TADF-sensitized CP-OLEDs not only show mirror-image CPEL activities with gEL values of +1.8×10-3 and -1.4×10-3 , but also display fast start-up featuring with low VT of 3.0 V as well as driving voltage of 4.8 V at 10 000 cd m-2 . Meaningfully, the TADF-sensitized fluorescent devices show high EQEmax of 21.5 % and extremely low efficiency roll-off, whose EQEs are 21.2 % and 15.3 % at 1000 and 10 000 cd m-2 , respectively. The obtained EQEs are comparable to those of CP-TADF emitters, which provides a promising perspective to break through the EL efficiency limit of CP-FL emitters.

Abstract
Conjugation-extended carbazolophane donors, dicarbazolophanes (DCzp), were designed and synthesized using a multifold stepwise Pd-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig amination/ring cyclization process. Furthermore, elaboration of the DCzp core is possible with the introduction of pendant carbazole derivative groups. This provides a way to tune the optoelectronic properties of the thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) compounds DCzpTRZtBu, dtBuCzDCzpTRZtBu, and dMeOCzDCzpTRZtBu. Solution-processed organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) were fabricated and achieved a maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax) of 8.2% and an EQE of 7.9% at 100 cd/m2.
