We realize the introduction of crystalline chirality into transition metal dichalcogenides by intercalating polyhedra into the lattice and reveal a new type of crystalline chirality interlocked double hourglass Weyl fermion. The best candidate RhV3S6 (P6322) possesses a record wide hourglass energy window of ~380 meV, as well as strong optical circular dichroism (CD) in the infrared regime, both tunable by external strains. The chirality is originally induced by the configuration of intercalated polyhedra, then reduced by the rotational atomic displacements triggered by the intercalation, as indicated by CD calculations.
