Exploiting the chirality transfer and amplification in the hierarchical chiral systems by the visible and accurate structures is still a challenge. Herein, a pair of homochiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) DCF-12 and LCF-12 with high rigidity and high porosity are synthesized via reticular chemistry. Interestingly, these two enantiomers can act as nano-containers, in which four chromophores, covering acridine, pyrene, 9,10-Bis(phenylvinyl) anthracene (BPEA), and coronene can be introduced by in situ encapsulation. Importantly, the precise single crystal structures of all guest-loaded MOFs by X-ray diffraction technique can be obtained smoothly. It not only clearly reveals the chirality transfer from chiral host framework to achiral guest emitters through space chirality transfer, but also circularly polarized luminescence can be achieved and modulated through the synergistic effect. Extraordinarily, both pyrene@DCF-12 and pyrene@ LCF-12 exhibit fascinating multi-color tunable room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) and dynamic circularly polarized luminescence. Besides, the RTP quantum yields of pyrene@DCF-12 and pyrene@LCD-12 are high up to 75.39% and 73.43%, which exceeds most of that of RTP materials. These results demonstrate that chiral MOFs can serve as an accurate platform to investigate the mechanism of chirality transfer and amplification and to prompt the development of CPL-active materials.

Dynamic long-lived multicolor room temperature afterglow and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) are promising for optoelectronic applications, but these functions integrated into a single-phase chiroptical materials is still a difficult and...

Organic dyes are widely used in the textile, biological, medical and other fields. However, a serious environmental problem has appeared because of the presence of organic dyes in industrial aqueous effluents. Thus, the efficient treatment of organic dyes in industrial wastewaters is currently in real demand. The current study investigated the oxidative degradation of the organic dye gentian violet by meso-tetra(carboxyphenyl) porphyriniron(III), [FeIII(TCPP)] as a cytochrome P450 model and iodosylbenzene (PhIO) as an oxidant at room temperature. The degradation reaction was monitored by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy via the observation of UV–vis spectral changes of the gentian violet. The results showed that the efficiency of catalyzed degradation reached more than 90% in 1 h, indicating the remarkable oxidative degradation capacity of the [FeIII(TCPP)]/PhIO system, which provided an efficient approach for the treatment of dyeing wastewater.
