Four aggregation‐induced emission (AIE)‐active chiral binaphthyl‐based molecules, (R/S)‐1 and (R/S)‐2, were designed and synthesized. Interestingly, all of them can exhibit reversal circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) signals from solution to aggregation, which could be attributed to the differe...
