Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

Molecular photoactuators can control shape and chemical or physical properties of the
responsive system they are embedded in. These effects are usually mediated by …

A series of macrocyclic azobenzene‐based chiral photoswitches have been judiciously
designed, synthesized, and characterized. In the molecular structures, binaphthyl is …

A versatile method for converting various fluorescent polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into
circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) excimer dyes with high g lum and ΦFL values is …

Mesogenic soft materials, having single or multiple mesogen moieties per molecule,
commonly exhibit typical self‐organization characteristics, which promotes the formation of …

Recently, many reports have emerged about circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) based
on excimer emission of pyrenes. The intense CPL was observed from various pyrene …

(R, R, R)-Quaternaphthyls possessing eight and six pyrenes (compounds 4 and 3) displayed
intense excimer-CPL. The glum values in solution and in the solid state were+ 0.034–0.037 …

Light‐induced phenomena occurring in nature and in synthetic materials are fascinating and
have been exploited for technological applications. Here visible‐light‐induced formation of a …

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has attracted attention as a next-generation light
signal because of its carrying more information compared with normal and linearly polarized …

A one‐pot O‐alkylation mediated macrocyclization approach has been used for the
synthesis of carbohydrate‐based macrocyclic azobenzene. The synthesized macrocycle can …
