Helical organosilica materials were synthesized for the first time using a novel binaphthyl‐based chiral co‐monomer in less than 1 hour. The incorporation of a chiral co‐monomer in the wall was shown to influence the curvature of the helical materials. As the amount of the chiral co‐monomer was increased, the degree of curvature increased, illustrating the importance of this monomer to the overall morphology.
