By exploiting the programmable coordination sites on the Al 2 cluster surface, we introduced classical chiral L/D-valine molecules and successfully constructed four pairs of alcohol-coordinated pure chiral enantiomers ( AlOC-189-L/D-MeOH , EtOH , PrOH , and PDO ). Further utilizing the replaceability of surface coordination sites, we achieved chiral-luminescent bifunctional coupling by partially substituting the chiral ligands with π-conjugated naphthyl-based luminophores (HNA/HNN), yielding two new classes of luminescent enantiomers ( AlOC-190-L/D-HNA and AlOC-190-L/D-HNN ). Notably, AlOC-190-L/D-HNN exhibited remarkable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) activity. This work not only highlights the highly designable coordination chemistry of AlOC—enabling on-demand integration of specific functionalities through modular ligand substitution—but also establishes a novel ”ligand editing” paradigm for developing multifunctional chiral optical materials.
