Abstract

​Considerable attention has been directed towards cyclodextrins (CDs) in the creation of co-assembled CPL-active materials, owing to their intrinsic chiral host cavities and synergistic host-guest interactions. However, achieving reversed CPL emission regulation with single-handedness CDs moiety poses a significant challenge. In this study, we have devised a series of γ-CD-based host-guest complexes comprising dual pyrene imidazolium derivatives with multiple linkers, which exhibit reversed circularly polarized emission. We have uncovered that the transformation of excimer stacking within γ-CD/pyrene complexes contributes to the inverted CPL emissions originating from a single-handed chiral host. This research elucidates the phenomenom of (+)- and (-)-circularly polarized excimer emission (CPEE) within γ-CD, arising from right- and left-handed stacking conformations, respectively.
