Dissymmetry is crucial for chiral geometries that utilize either intrinsic anisotropy forces around nanoparticles (NPs) or external organization associated with templates or applied fields and alignment. The chiral nanostructures in the geometries of dimers (different triggers), pyramids, and helices usually generate (-)/(+) enantiomers with tunable circular dichroism (CD) bands. The chiral superstructures of films produce much stronger, broader CD bands with tunable Cotton effect signs. Chiral fabrication has also been advanced by interdisciplinary technology. Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), luminescence, and magneto-optics have been discussed in this study with respect to chiroptical properties. We have witnessed tremendous diversity in chiral assemblies with significant potential as biocompatible therapy reagents, biosensors, and catalysts as well as optical materials. In this study, we highlight the progress of chiral assemblies, especially geometrical and spectral tuning, and present a comprehensive discussion of their key parameters and mechanisms as well as their applications.
