Chiral D -symmetric figure-eight shaped macrocycles are promising scaffolds for amplifying the chiroptical properties of π-conjugated systems. By harnessing the inherent and adaptable conformational dynamics of a chiral C -symmetric bispyrrolidinoindoline (BPI) manifold, we developed an enantio-divergent modular synthetic platform to rapidly generate a diverse range of chiral macrocycles, spanning from 14- to 66-membered rings, eliminating the need for optical resolution. Notably, a 32-membered figure-eight macrocycle showed excellent circularly polarized luminescence (CPL: |g |=1.1×10 ) complemented by a robust emission quantum yield (Φ =0.74), to achieve outstanding CPL brightness (B : ϵ×Φ ×|g |/2=480). Using quadruple Sonogashira couplings, this versatile synthetic platform enables precise adjustments of the angle, distance, and length among intersecting π-conjugated chromophores. Our synthetic strategy offers a streamlined and systematic approach to significantly enhance B values for a variety of chiral D -symmetric figure-eight macrocycles.

Polarization-sensitive photodetection is critical for advanced optical systems, yet achieving simultaneous high-fidelity recognition of the circularly polarized (CP) and linearly polarized (LP) light with compact designs remains challenging. Here, we use COMSOL 5.6 software to demonstrate a silicon metasurface-integrated MCT photodetector that resolves both CP and LP signals through a single ultrathin platform.

Weyl metals, known for their topological structure and chiral anomaly, exhibit nonlinear transport that defies conventional theory. In this study, ZrTe, an inversion-symmetric Dirac semimetal tunable to a Weyl state by magnetic field, is investigated, and rectification (alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) conversion) and third harmonic generation in longitudinal configurations is revealed. Despite its bulk inversion symmetry, symmetry-forbidden rectification and a dynamic phase transition arising from the chiral anomaly are observed.

Developing thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials with excellent chiroptical and photophysical properties is crucial for advancing optoelectronic applications. Herein, a chiral space conjugation strategy incorporating a typical [2.2]paracyclophane unit is proposed to construct a highly efficient chiral multi-resonant (MR) TADF emitter, R(S)-PCP-DBNO.

One of the main aspects in which artificial capsules and cages still differ from their biological counterparts is symmetry─a fundamental trait that gives natural systems exceptional selectivity in molecular recognition. While the symmetry challenge has been recently addressed within metallosupramolecular or covalent systems, the creation of purely noncovalent capsular assemblies with tunable symmetry remains elusive. One exciting avenue toward reducing symmetry is to avail chirality in chiral-sensitive self-assembly, where symmetry is altered upon component binding.

In this study, three alternating donor-acceptor (D-A) type [12]cycloparaphenylene ([12]CPP) derivatives ([12]CPP 1a, 2a, and 3a) were designed through precise molecular engineering, and their multidimensional photophysical responses and chiroptical properties were systematically investigated. The effects of the alternating D-A architecture on electronic structure, excited-state dynamics, and optical behavior were elucidated through density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations. The results show that the alternating D-A design significantly reduced the HOMO-LUMO energy gap (e.
