While chiral hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites are promising materials for optoelectronic applications, the synthesis of three-dimensional single crystals has proven challenging. Now, a general strategy has been shown to synthesize chiral, three-dimensional perovskites by heterogeneous nucleation. The single-crystalline materials contain no chiral component; their chiroptical activity arises from supercells formed by chiral patterns of the A-site cations.
