Materials capable of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have attracted considerable attention for their promising potential applications. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was characterized as having a stable right-handed twist, which makes it a potential chiral host to endow luminophores with CPL. Then, the CPL-active BC composite film was constructed by simply impregnating bacterial cellulose pellicles with dilute aqueous solutions of luminophores (rhodamine B, carbon dots, polymer dots) and drying under ambient conditions. Simple encapsulation of luminophores renders BC with circularly polarized luminescence with a dissymmetry factor of up to 0.03. The multiple chiral centers of bacterial cellulose provide a primary asymmetric environment that can be further modulated by supramolecular chemistry, which is responsible for its circular polarization ability. We further demonstrate that commercial grade paper may endow luminophores with CPL activity, which reifies the universality of the method.

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.

Small organic molecules (SOMs) with fascinating chiroptical properties have received much attention for their potential applications in photoelectric and biological devices. As an important research tool, circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) provides information about the chiral structures of these molecules in their excited state, and has been an active area of research. With the development of the commercially available CPL instrumentation, currently, more and more research groups have attempted to enhance the CPL parameters (i.e., quantum yield and dissymmetry factor) of the chiral SOMs from all aspects. This review summarizes the latest five years progresses in research on the experimental techniques and theoretical calculations of CPL emitted from SOMs, as well as forecasting its trend of development.
