摘要

Self-assembly offers a versatile route to circularly polarized luminescence (CPL), yet achieving concurrent amplification of CPL and high emission efficiency remains challenging. Here we report a chiral reticular chemistry strategy for creating homochiral porous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as efficient CPL-active materials. By co-assembling enantiopure R/S-binol with achiral luminescent ligands, three pairs of enantiomeric pillar-layered MOFs were synthesized, exhibiting significantly amplified CPL responses. Remarkably, the dissymmetry factor ∣glum∣ values are enhanced by up to two orders of magnitude compared with the free ligands, reaching levels comparable to state-of-the-art chiral assemblies, while maintaining high photoluminescence efficiencies (ΦPL up to 67%). Mechanistic investigations reveal that the CPL originates primarily from the global chirality of the hierarchical frameworks rather than the intrinsic chirality of the precursors. This work establishes a robust design principle for porous CPL-active materials, offering new insights into chirality transfer and opening avenues to integrate strong luminescence with stable chirality in extended frameworks.
