Chiral nanostructures are asymmetric nanoarchitectures that cannot be superimposed with their mirrored-symmetric counterparts, which have attracted considerable attention due to their special photophysical properties and potential applications in plasmonics, spectroscopy and nanosensors. In particular, Self-Assembly of chiral nanostructures with symmetric or asymmetric objects might exhibit exceptional optical activity because those chiral superstructures can manipulate chiral states of light that leads to circular dichroism (CD) effect. This review highlights recent advances on the self-assembly of plasmonic chiral superstructures from simpler dimeric, and trimeric chiral nanoassemblies to complicated chiral nanoarchitectures, especially emphasizes the resulted superior optical activity and the corresponding principles.
