The chiral spatial structure of chiral perovskite materials enriches the physical and optical properties of perovskite materials, making them an excellent platform to deeply understand charge-spin-photon interactions. In this work, we fabricated chiral perovskite crystals and their nonchiral isomeric counterparts. The significant differences in the crystal structures of these two types of materials lead to notable variations in their fluorescence lifetimes and electron-phonon coupling strength, which present an externally presentable change in physical properties, such as the dielectric constant. Moreover, inside chiral structures, the chiral orbit should be taken into account. Under the effect of a magnetic field versus a chiral orbit, dipolar polarization and charge recombination will be rebalanced after disruption, where the dielectric constants and photoluminescence intensities of the S- and R-type chiral perovskites display opposite trends. It is also noted that chiral orbit-induced spin relaxation determined the spin dependence of recombination, which presents a potential materials platform to fabricate devices resisting external signal interference well.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...

Chirality
Chiral objects exhibit a sense of handedness when they interact with another chiral object. For example, our left foot can only fit in the left shoe and not in the right shoe. Achiral objects — objects that have...
