ABSTRACT
Metallophilic interactions, which are ubiquitous among d10 metal complexes with linear coordination geometries, can direct one-dimensional assembly. However, the ability of these interactions to manipulate chirality at the hierarchical level largely remains unknown. In this work, we unveiled the role of Au···Cu metallophilic interactions in directing the chirality of multicomponent assemblies. N-heterocyclic carbene-Au(I) complexes bearing amino acid residues formed chiral co-assemblies with [CuI2]- anions via Au···Cu interactions. These metallophilic interactions changed the molecular packing modes of the co-assembled nanoarchitectures from lamellar to columnar chiral packing. This transformation initiated the emergence, inversion, and evolution of supramolecular chirality, thereby affording helical superstructures, depending on the geometry of building units. In addition, the Au···Cu interactions altered the luminescence properties and induced the emergence and amplification of circularly polarized luminescence. This work, for the first time, revealed the role of Au···Cu metallophilic interactions in modulating supramolecular chirality, paving the way for the construction of functional chiroptical materials based on d10 metal complexes.
