Abstract
Recently, chiral metal-organic coordination materials have emerged as promising candidates for a wide range of applications in chiroptoelectronics, chiral catalysis, and information encryption, etc. Notably, the chiroptical effect of coordination chromophores makes them appealing for applications such as photodetectors, OLEDs, 3D displays, and bioimaging. The direct synthesis of chiral coordination materials using chiral organic ligands or complexes with metal-centered chirality is very often tedious and costly. In the case of ionic coordination materials, the combination of chiral anions with cationic, achiral coordination compounds through noncovalent interactions may endow molecular materials with desirable chiroptical properties. The use of such a simple chiral strategy has been proven effective in inducing promising circular dichroism and/or circularly polarized luminescence signals. This concept article mainly delves into the latest advances in exploring the efficacy of such a chiral anion strategy for transforming achiral coordination materials into chromophores with superb photo- or electro-chiroptical properties. In particular, ionic small-molecular metal complexes, metal clusters, coordination supramolecular assemblies, and metal-organic frameworks containing chiral anions are discussed. A perspective on the future opportunities on the preparation of chiroptical materials with the chiral anion strategy is also presented.

Abstract
Chiral materials with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have garnered significant attention owing to their distinctive luminescent properties and wide array of applications. CPL enables the selective emission of left and right circularly polarized light. The fluorescence quantum yield and dissymmetry factor play pivotal roles in the generation of CPL. Helical polymers exhibit immense promise as CPL materials due to their inherent chirality, structural versatility, modifiability, and capacity to incorporate diverse chromophores. This Review provides a brief review of the synthesis of CPL materials based on helical polymers. The CPL can be realized by aggregation-induced CPL of non-emissive helical polymers, and helices bearing chromophores on the pendants and on the chain end. Furthermore, future challenges and potential applications of CPL materials are summarized and discussed.

Abstract
Constructing full-color circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials with switchable handedness in the solid state is an appealing yet considerably challenging task, especially for supramolecular polymer films assembled from homochiral monomers. Herein, supramolecular polymers with full-color CPL and inverted handedness are realized through the coassembly of a homochiral cholesterol derivative (PVPCC), metal ions (Zn2+), and achiral fluorescent dyes. The obtained coassembled systems show anion-directed supramolecular chirality inversion by exchanging the anions of NO3-, ClO4-, BF4-, and Cl-. For instance, the negative CD and right-handed CPL are detected in the PVPCC/Zn(NO3)2 aggregates, which convert into positive CD and left-handed CPL after introducing Cl-, corresponding to the transformation from nanorods to nanofibers. Furthermore, the tunable CPL color and handedness inversion of the coassembly system of PVPCC/Zn(NO3)2 and achiral fluorescent dyes can be established by alternately changing the assembling temperature of 298 and 273 K. Importantly, the full-color CPL polymeric materials are then constructed by doping the PVPCC/Zn(NO3)2/dyes complexes into poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) film, which maintains the handedness inversion and shows the enhanced CPL performance. The work not only deepens the understanding of chirality inversion in supramolecular chemistry but also helps to construct full-color CPL materials with switchable handedness from homochiral building blocks in materials science.

Abstract
In the dynamic domain of chiroptical technologies, it is imperative to engineer emitters endowed with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties. This research demonstrates an advancement by employing a combined top-down and bottom-up strategy for the simultaneous amplification of photoluminescence quantum yield (Φ) and the luminescence dissymmetry factor (glum ). Square-planar Pt(II) complexes form helical assemblies, driven by torsional strain induced by bis(nonyl) chains. Integration of chiral anions leads these assemblies to prefer distinct helical sense. This arrangement activates the metal-metal-to-ligand charge transfer (MMLCT) transition that is CPL-active, with Φ and |glum | observing an upswing contingent on the charge number and aryl substituents in chiral anions. Utilizing the soft-lithographic micromolding in capillaries technique, we could fabricate exquisitely-ordered, one-dimensional co-assemblies to achieve the metrics to Φ of 0.32 and |glum | of 0.13. Finally, our spectroscopic research elucidates the underlying mechanism for the dual amplification, making a significant stride in the advancement of CPL-active emitters.
