Chiral Hybrid Organic–Inorganic Metal Halides: Preparation, Luminescent Properties, and Applications

Organic–inorganic metal halides (OIMHs) have emerged as highly promising semiconductor materials owing to their outstanding optoelectronic properties. Incorporation of chiral organic molecules into the metal–halide framework enables the construction of chiral OIMHs, which exhibit unique chiroptical phenomena in addition to the intrinsic advantages of perovskite-based semiconductors. This review provides a systematic overview of recent progress in chiral OIMHs, covering synthetic approaches, crystal structures, mechanisms of chirality transfer, circularly polarized luminescence, and circularly polarized light detection. We further highlight the current challenges and outline future research directions, emphasizing the need for strategies that enhance chiroptical responses, stability, and device integration. By bridging fundamental insights with design principles, this work aims to guide the rational development of next-generation chiral functional materials for advanced optoelectronic and spintronic applications.
