[0002] In recent years, research on circularly polarized luminescent materials has been gaining momentum, primarily due to their broad application potential in cutting-edge fields such as optical displays, information storage, optoelectronic devices, and bioimaging. This has sparked deep interest and attention from the scientific community. Chiral organic fluorescent molecules are particularly noteworthy. Due to their unique circularly polarized luminescence properties and vast application prospects, they have firmly established themselves at the core of chiral luminescent materials research, becoming a focal point for scientists to pursue and explore in depth.

[0003] The fibrous network structures formed by the self-assembly of low molecular mass organogelators (LMOGs) from the molecular to the micrometer scale, and the physicochemical properties of the resulting thermoreversible gels, have attracted considerable interest. Below the gelation temperature, LMOGs aggregate into fibers, strands, and bands through hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking interactions, van der Waals forces, ion-ion interactions, and host-guest interactions, connecting at "nodes" to form a network that holds the liquid in place through surface tension and capillary forces. Currently, developing supramolecular gelling agents based on novel non-covalent interactions, expanding the application areas of supramolecular gels, and elucidating their gelation mechanisms remain key research challenges and cutting-edge topics in this field.
