The development of chiral fluorescent materials has attracted great interest. [1,1 '-binaphthalene]-2,2 '-diol (BINOL), a privileged C-2-symmetric molecular skeleton, is one of the most frequently used chiral optical backbones. However, a phenomenon of circular dichroism (CD) annihilation in the aggregated state was observed in BINOL based molecules, which limits the application of CD in the condensed state. In this work, by inserting various bridged alkyl chains into the hydroxyl groups of 3,3 '-dicyanomethylene functionalized (R)-BINOL, a series of chiral luminogens (BINB-n, n = 1 to 8) was obtained. All BINB-n luminogens exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) characteristics and their molecular conformation was significantly dependent on the length of the alkyl chain, which further regulated their CD behavior from annihilation to preservation in the aggregated state. Moreover, in virtue of the AIE characteristic of BINB-6, judiciously introducing suitable electron donors successfully realized enhanced and tunable solid-state circularly polarized luminescence with the maximum g(lum) value of 1 x 10(-2).
