- Abstract
The facile synthesis of a tetraphenylethene-based macrocycle having aggregation-induced emission characteristics and that expresses illusory topology of the Penrose stairs is presented. As a result of the twisted chirality ( P or M) of the tetraphenylethene unit and the axial chirality of the macrocyclic linkage ( R or S), the macrocycle exhibits two absolute configurations whose interconversion is energetically favorable as revealed by theoretical calculations.
