Abstract Self‐assembled structures with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) have attracted great attention in recent years. π‐conjugated N ‐terminal amino acids with chiral amino acid residues and luminophores are capable of forming self‐assembled structures at hierarchical levels, whereby chirality can be transferred to the macroscopic scale with easily modulated CPL properties. Due to the presence of multiple noncovalent binding sites, including hydrogen bonding and aromatic interactions, π‐conjugated N ‐terminal amino acids are emerging core candidates for incorporation into multicomponent self‐assembled architectures, accomplishing rational control over supramolecular chirality as well as showing rich chiroptical properties. In this Minireview, we provide a brief summary of multiple‐component coassembled systems comprising π‐conjugated N ‐terminal amino acids, small organic species and metal ions. The synthesis of helical structures and manipulation of supramolecular chirality by controlling the self‐assembled species is introduced, and the CPL properties of multiple‐component π‐conjugated N ‐terminal amino acids are also briefly summarized.
