Chirality is a fundamental property of nature, and thus, building novel chiral molecules plays a crucial role in multidisciplinary fields. Herein, we have developed a straightforward approach to effectively incorporate all four types of point, axial, planar, and helical chiralities into a single molecule for the first time. The resultant “point-line-plane-helix” binuclear Pt(II) complexes exhibit multiple chiralities, including not only point and axial chiralities from the bridging ligands but also planar and helical chiralities from metal coordination. The intramolecular π–π and Pt–Pt interactions will restrict intramolecular rotations, thereby stabilizing the metal-induced planar and helical chiralities. Furthermore, enantiopure (R,R,R,Rp,M) or (S,S,S,Sp,P) molecules could be obtained by chirality self-sorting without the use of chiral high-performance liquid chromatography. Their single-crystal, circular dichroism, and circularly polarized luminescence properties are comprehensively investigated, providing unequivocal insights into the design of multiple-chirality materials for related applications.
