Abstract
ConspectusAtomically precise metal nanoclusters, serving as an aggregation state of metal atoms, display unique physicochemical properties owing to their ultrasmall sizes with discrete electronic energy levels and strong quantum size effects. Such intriguing properties endow nanoclusters with potential utilization as efficient nanomaterials in catalysis, electron transfer, drug delivery, photothermal conversion, optical control, etc. With the assistance of atomically precise operations and theoretical calculations on metal nanoclusters, significant progress has been accomplished in illustrating their structure-performance correlations at the single-molecule level. Such research achievements, in turn, have contributed to the rational design and customization of functional nanoclusters and cluster-based nanomaterials.Most previous studies have focused on investigating structure-property correlations of nanocluster monomers, while the exploration of electronic structures and physicochemical properties of hierarchical cluster-based assembled structures was far from enough. Indeed, from the application aspect, the nanoclusters with controllably assembly states (e.g., crystalline assembled materials, host-guest hybrid materials, amorphous powders, and so on) were more suitable for performance expression relative to those in the monomeric state and more directed to downstream solid-state applications. In this context, more attention should be paid to the state-correlated property variations of metal nanoclusters occurring in their aggregating and assembling processes for better applications in accordance with their aptitude.Crystalline aggregates are crucial in the structural determination of metal nanoclusters, also acting as a cornerstone to analyze the structure-property correlations by affording atomic-level information. The regular arrangement, uniform composition, and close intermolecular distance of the cluster molecules in their supercrystal lattices are beneficial for property retention and amplification from the molecule itself as a monomeric state. Besides, for these nanoparticles with strong quantum size effects, the intercluster distances in the supercrystal lattices are still located at the nanoscale level, wherein the quantum size effect is highly likely to take effect with additional intermolecular synergistic effects. Accordingly, it is expected that novel performances might occur in the crystalline aggregates of nanoclusters that are completely different from those in the monomolecular state.In this Account, we emphasize our efforts in exploring the performance enhancement of atomically precise metal nanoclusters in their crystalline aggregate states, such as thermal stability, photoluminescence, optical activity, and an optical waveguide. Such performance enhancements further supported the practical uses of metal nanoclusters in structure determination, a polarization switch, an optical waveguide device, and so on. We also demonstrated that the differences in physicochemical properties between crystalline aggregates and monomers of metal nanoclusters might be attributed to the change in electronic structures during the crystalline aggregation processes in the superlattice. The "superlattice assembly" is intended to customize the function of cluster-based aggregates for downstream solid-state applications.

Abstract
Helicity in solids often arises from the precise ordering of cooperative intra- and intermolecular interactions unique to natural, organic or molecular systems. This exclusivity limited the realization of helicity and its ensuing properties in dense inorganic solids. Here we report that Ga atoms in GaSeI, a representative III-VI-VII one-dimensional (1D) van der Waals crystal, manifest the rare Boerdijk-Coxeter helix motif. This motif is a non-repeating geometric pattern characterized by 1D face-sharing tetrahedra whose adjacent vertices are rotated by an irrational angle. Using InSeI and GaSeI, we show that the modularity of 1D van der Waals lattices accommodates the systematic twisting of a periodic tetrahelix with a 41 screw axis in InSeI to an infinitely extending Boerdijk-Coxeter helix in GaSeI. GaSeI crystals are non-centrosymmetric, optically active and exfoliable to a single chain. These results present a materials platform towards understanding the origin and physical manifestation of aperiodic helicity in low-dimensional solids.

Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of three new hybrid metal halide hydrates in which mer-[CrIIICl3(H2O)3]0 cocrystallizes alongside α-methylbenzylammonium chloride are described. The enantiomorphic crystals, ((R)-(+)-α-methylbenzylammonium)2(mer-[CrCl3(H2O)3])Cl2 ((R)-1) and ((S)-(-)-α-methylbenzylammonium)2(mer-[CrCl3(H2O)3])Cl2 ((S)-1), have C2221 space group symmetry and show mirrored circular dichroism signals. The racemate, (rac-α-methylbenzylammonium)2(mer-[CrCl3(H2O)3])Cl2 ((rac)-1), adopts a polar structure with Cm space group symmetry in which enantiomers are related by mirror planes within organic bilayers. Alongside detailed crystallography and magnetism of each compound, the optical properties of the mer-[CrIIICl3(H2O)3]0 unit are revisited. Understanding the intermolecular forces that stabilize each of these crystal structures lends insights into crystal engineering methodologies for stabilizing noncentrosymmetric hybrid metal halides.

Abstract
Although their zero- to two-dimensional counterparts are well known, three-dimensional chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite single crystals have remained difficult because they contain no chiral components and their crystal phases belong to centrosymmetric achiral point groups. Here we report a general approach to grow single-crystalline 3D lead halide perovskites with chiroptical activity. Taking MAPbBr3 (MA, methylammonium) perovskite as a representative example, whereas achiral MAPbBr3 crystallized from precursors in solution by inverse temperature crystallization method, the addition of micro- or nanoparticles as nucleating agents promoted the formation of chiral crystals under a near equilibrium state. Experimental characterization supported by calculations showed that the chirality of the 3D APbX3 (where A is an ammonium ion and X is Cl, Br or mixed Cl-Br or Br-I) perovskites arises from chiral patterns of the A-site cations and their interaction with the [PbX6]4- octahedra in the perovskite structure. The chiral structure obeys the lowest-energy principle and thereby thermodynamically stable. The chiral 3D hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites served in a circularly polarized light photodetector prototype successfully.

Abstract
Lead halide perovskites and related main-group halogenido metalates offer unique semiconductor properties and diverse applications in photovoltaics, solid-state lighting, and photocatalysis. Recent advances in incorporating chiral organic cations have led to the emergence of chiral metal-halide semiconductors with intriguing properties, such as chiroptical activity and chirality-induced spin selectivity, enabling the generation and detection of circularly polarized light and spin-polarized electrons for applications in spintronics and quantum information. However, understanding the structural origin of chiroptical activity remains challenging due to macroscopic factors and experimental limitations. In this work, we present an achiral perovskite derivative [Cu2(pyz)3(MeCN)2][Bi3I11] (CuBiI; pyz = pyrazine; MeCN = acetonitrile), which exhibits remarkable circular dichroism (CD) attributed to the material's noncentrosymmetric nature. CuBiI features a unique structure as a poly-threaded iodido bismuthate, with [Bi3I11]2- chains threaded through a cationic two-dimensional coordination polymer. The material possesses a low, direct optical band gap of 1.70 eV. Notably, single crystals display both linear and circular optical activity with a large anisotropy factor of up to 0.16. Surprisingly, despite the absence of chiral building blocks, CuBiI exhibits a significant degree of circularly polarized photoluminescence, reaching 4.9%. This value is comparable to the results achieved by incorporating chiral organic molecules into perovskites, typically ranging from 3-10% at zero magnetic field. Our findings provide insights into the macroscopic origin of CD and offer design guidelines for the development of materials with high chiroptical activity.

Abstract
Realizing high photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in the near-infrared (NIR) region is challenging and valuable for luminescent material, especially for thermally activated delay fluorescence (TADF) material. In this work, we report two achiral cyclic trinuclear Au(I) complexes, Au3 (4-Clpyrazolate)3 and Au3 (4-Brpyrazolate)3 (denoted as Cl-Au and Br-Au), obtained through the reaction of 4-chloro-1H-pyrazole and 4-bromo-1H-pyrazole with Au(I) salts, respectively. Both Cl-Au and Br-Au exhibit TADF with high PLQY (>70 %) in the NIR I (700-900 nm) (λmax = 720 nm) region, exceeding other NIR-TADF emitters in the solid state. Photophysical experiments and theoretical calculations confirmed the efficient NIR-TADF properties of Cl-Au and Br-Au were attributed to the small energy gap ΔE(S1-T2) (S = singlet, T = triplet) and the large spin-orbital coupling induced by ligand-to-metal-metal charge transfer of molecular aggregations. In addition, both complexes crystallize in the achiral Pna21 space group (mm2 point group) and are circularly polarized light (CPL) active with maxima luminescent dissymmetry factor |glum | of 3.4 × 10-3 (Cl-Au) and 2.7 × 10-3 (Br-Au) for their crystalline powder samples, respectively. By using Cl-Au as the emitting ink, 3D-printed luminescent logos are fabricated, which own anti-counterfeiting functions due to its CPL behavior dependent on the crystallinity.

Abstract
Chiroptical activity of achiral crystals is theoretically allowed but very unusual. There is a particularly scarcity of empirical studies on optically active achiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Herein we report an achiral emissive Eu MOF and its chiroptical properties both in the ground and excited states. The framework crystallizes in an achiral space group (Pna21 ) belonging to the polar point group (mm2), where the asymmetric arrangement of racemic trinuclear Eu-oxo clusters is responsible for the optical activity. A pair of circular dichroisms (CD) and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) peaks with opposite signs were observed for single crystals. Importantly, the luminescence dissymmetry factor can reach up to 1.1×10-3 , which is comparable in magnitude to the value of most of the chiral-linker-bridged MOFs. This work gives the first example of achiral MOFs with CPL response and should be instructive for the discovery of more CPL emitters from racemic MOF family.

Abstract
The discovery of hidden spin polarization (HSP) in centrosymmetric nonmagnetic crystals, i.e., spatially distributed spin polarization originated from local symmetry breaking, has promised an expanded material pool for future spintronics. However, the measurements of such exotic effects have been limited to subtle space- and momentum-resolved techniques, unfortunately, hindering their applications. Here, we theoretically predict macroscopic non-reciprocal transports induced by HSP when coupling another spatially distributed quantity, such as staggered local moments in a space-time PT-symmetric antiferromagnet. By using a four-band model Hamiltonian, we demonstrate that HSP plays a crucial role in determining the asymmetric bands with respect to opposite momenta. Such band asymmetry leads to non-reciprocal nonlinear conductivity, exemplified by tetragonal CuMnAs via first-principles calculations. We further provide the material design principles for large nonlinear conductivity, including two-dimensional nature, multiple band crossings near the Fermi level, and symmetry protected HSP. Our Letter not only reveals direct spintronic applications of HSP (such as Néel order detection), but also sheds light on finding observables of other hidden effects, such as hidden optical polarization and hidden Berry curvature.

Abstract
Circular polarized light-dependent anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect - a steady anomalous photovoltaic current can be manipulated by changing the light helicity, is an increasingly interesting topic in contexts ranging from physics to chemistry. Herein, circular polarized light-dependent anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect is presented in achiral hybrid perovskites, (4-AMP)BiI5 (ABI, 4-AMP is 4-(aminomethyl)piperidinium), breaking conventional realization that it can only happen in chiral species. Achiral hybrid perovskite ABI crystallizes in chiroptical-active asymmetric point group m (Cs), showing an anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect with giant photovoltage of 25 V, as well as strong circular polarized light - sensitive properties. Significantly, conspicuous circular polarized light-dependent anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect is reflected in the large degree of dependence of anomalous bulk photovoltaic effect on left-and right-CPL helicity, which is associated with left and right-handed screw optical axes of ABI. Such degree of dependence is demonstrated by a large asymmetry factor of 0.24, which almost falls around the highest value of hybrid perovskites. These unprecedented results may provide a perspective to develop opto-spintronic functionalities in hybrid perovskites.

Abstract
Circularly polarized light (CPL) detection has sparked overwhelming research interest for its widespread chiroptoelectronic and spintronic applications. Ferroelectric materials, especially emerging layered hybrid perovskite ferroelectrics, exhibiting striking bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE) present significant possibilities for CPL detection by a distinctive working concept. Herein, for the first time, we demonstrate the realization of robust angular anisotropy of CPL detection in a new layered hybrid perovskite ferroelectric crystal (CPA)2FAPb2Br7 (1, CPA is chloropropylammonium, FA is formamidinium), which crystallized in an optically active achiral polar point group. Benefiting from the notable spontaneous polarization (5.1 μC/cm2) and excellent semiconducting characteristics, single crystals of 1 exhibit remarkable BPVE under light illumination, with a high current on/off switching ratio (ca. 103). More intriguingly, driven by the angular carrier drift originating from spin-dependent BPVE in optically active ferroelectrics, 1 displays highly sensitive self-powered CPL detection performance, showing a robust angular anisotropy factor up to 0.98, which is far more than those achieved by material intrinsic chirality. This work provides an unprecedented approach for realizing highly sensitive CPL detection, which sheds light on the further design of optically active ferroelectrics for chiral photonic applications.

Abstract
In the past two decades, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) or porous coordination polymers (PCPs) assembled from metal ions or clusters and organic linkers via metal-ligand coordination bonds have captivated significant scientific interest on account of their high crystallinity, exceptional porosity, and tunable pore size, high modularity, and diverse functionality. The opportunity to achieve functional porous materials by design with promising properties, unattainable for solid-state materials in general, distinguishes MOFs from other classes of materials, in particular, traditional porous materials such as activated carbon, silica, and zeolites, thereby leading to complementary properties. Scientists have conducted intense research in the production of chiral MOF (CMOF) materials for specific applications including but not limited to chiral recognition, separation, and catalysis since the discovery of the first functional CMOF (i.e., d- or l-POST-1). At present, CMOFs have become interdisciplinary between chirality chemistry, coordination chemistry, and material chemistry, which involve in many subjects including chemistry, physics, optics, medicine, pharmacology, biology, crystal engineering, environmental science, etc. In this review, we will systematically summarize the recent progress of CMOFs regarding design strategies, synthetic approaches, and cutting-edge applications. In particular, we will highlight the successful implementation of CMOFs in asymmetric catalysis, enantioselective separation, enantioselective recognition, and sensing. We envision that this review will provide readers a good understanding of CMOF chemistry and, more importantly, facilitate research endeavors for the rational design of multifunctional CMOFs and their industrial implementation.

Abstract
Accomplishing optical activity in achiral materials has long been a challenge. Achiral nanomaterials that crystallize in achiral point groups are generally optically inactive. Herein we report the surprising observation of optical activity in several achiral point groups for supercrystals assembled from anisotropic metal nanoclusters with atomic precision. By analyzing multiple achiral nanoclusters with different molecular structures and symmetry space groups, we have identified that the molecular anisotropy of nanocluster entities and their asymmetric arrangement in point groups of supercrystals are the two key factors for the realization of optical activity in such supercrystals. We have further exploited the polarization effect of the nanocluster supercrystals as a polarization switch that can alter the polarized state of the linearly polarized light. Our findings have broadened the fundamental principles for producing nanomaterial-based optical activity and devices with polarization effects.

Abstract
We report on the preparation, characterization, and bioavailability properties of three new crystal forms of ethionamide, an antitubercular agent used in the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis. The new adducts were obtained by combining the active pharmaceutical ingredient with three dicarboxylic acids, namely glutaric, malonic and tartaric acid, in equimolar ratios. Crystal structures were obtained for all three adducts and were compared with two previously reported multicomponent systems of ethionamide with maleic and fumaric acid. The ethionamide-glutaric acid and the ethionamide-malonic acid adducts were thoroughly characterized by means of solid-state NMR (13C and 15N Cross-Polarization Magic Angle Spinning or CPMAS) to confirm the position of the carboxylic proton, and they were found to be a cocrystal and a salt, respectively; they were compared with two previously reported multicomponent systems of ethionamide with maleic and fumaric acid. Ethionamide-tartaric acid was found to be a rare example of kryptoracemic cocrystal. In vitro bioavailability enhancements up to a factor 3 compared to pure ethionamide were assessed for all obtained adducts.

Abstract
The absence of centrosymmetry in chiral and polar crystal structures is the reason for many technical relevant physical properties like optical birefringence or ferroelectricity. Other chirality related properties that are actually intensively investigated are unconventional superconductivity or unusual magnetic ordering like skyrmions in materials with B20 structure. Despite the often close crystal structure - property relation, its detection is often challenging due to superposition of domains with different absolute structure e.g. chirality. Our investigations of high quality CoSi crystals with B20 structure by both complementary methods X- ray (volume sensitive) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) (surface sensitive) results the consistent assignment of the chirality and reveal fundamental differences in their sensitivity to chirality. The analysis of the surface of a CoSi crystal with domains of different chirality show the high spatial resolution of this method which opens the possibility to analyze the chirality in microstructures of technical relevant materials like thin films and catalysts.

Abstract
The solid-state structure of LL/DD or LD/DL diphenylalanine diluted in KBr pellets is studied by infrared (IR) absorption and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectroscopy. The structure depends on the absolute configuration of the residues. The natural LL diphenylalanine exists as a mixture of neutral and zwitterionic structures, depending on the humidity of the sample, while mostly the zwitterion is observed for LD diphenylalanine whatever the experimental conditions. The system undergoes spontaneous cyclization upon heating at 125°C, resulting to the formation of a diketopiperazine (DKP) dipeptide as the only product. The reaction is faster for LD than for LL diphenylalanine. As expected, LL and DD diphenylalanine react to form the LL and DD enantiomers of cyclo diphenylalanine. Interestingly, the DKP dipeptides formed from the LD or DL diphenylalanine show unexpected optical activity, with opposite VCD spectra for the products formed from the LD and DL reagents. This is explained in terms of chirality synchronization between the monomers within the crystal, which retain the symmetry of the reagent, resulting to the formation of a new chiral phase made from transiently chiral molecules.

Abstract
Naturally occurring single crystals having a multidomain morphology are a counterintuitive phenonomon: the macroscopic appearance is expected to follow the symmetry of the unit cell. Growing such crystals in the lab is a great challenge, especially from organic molecules. We achieve here uniform metallo-organic crystals that exhibit single crystallinity with apparently distinct domains and chirality. The chirality is present at both the molecular and macroscopic levels, although only achiral elements are used. "Yo-yo"-like structures having opposite helical handedness evolve from initially formed seemingly achiral cylinders. This non-polyhedral morphology coexists with a continuous coordination network forming homochiral channels. This work sheds light on the enigmatic aspects of fascinating crystallization processes occurring in biological mineralization. Our findings open up opportunities to generate new porous and hierarchical chiral materials.

Abstract
Hidden Rashba and Dresselhaus spin splittings in centrosymmetric crystals with subunits/sectors having non-centrosymmetric symmetries (the R-2 and D-2 effects) have been predicted theoretically and then observed experimentally, but the microscopic mechanism remains unclear. Here we demonstrate that the spin splitting in the R-2 effect is enforced by specific symmetries, such as non-symmorphic symmetry in the present example, which ensures that the pertinent spin wavefunctions segregate spatially on just one of the two inversion-partner sectors and thus avoid compensation. We further show that the effective Hamiltonian for the conventional Rashba (R-1) effect is also applicable for the R-2 effect, but applying a symmetry-breaking electric field to a R-2 compound produces a different spin-splitting pattern than applying a field to a trivial, non-R-2, centrosymmetric compound. This finding establishes a common fundamental source for the R-1 effect and the R-2 effect, both originating from local sector symmetries rather than from the global crystal symmetry per se.
