In this study,v ia as imple one-step method, chiral copper sulfide quantum dots (d/l-QDs) were prepared using d-/l-penicillamine (d-/l-Pen). The anisotropyfactor of d/l-QDs was as high as 0.01. The d/l-QDs can be used as photocatalysts to cleave proteins.N otably,t he l-QDs displayed the highest catalytic performance under left-circularly polarized light irradiation. Mechanistic investigations indicate the generation of hydroxylr adicals as the reactive species that cause the cutting of proteins.Chirality,which is usually based on organic molecules, [1] has been extended to inorganic nanomaterials such as metal nanoparticles (NPs), [2] carbon NPs, [3] semiconductor NPs, [4] ZnO films, [5] metaphotonic nanostructures, [6] NP assemblies with chiral geometries, [7] and so on. [8] Chiral inorganic NPs have triggered great interest due to their easy synthesis and their tremendous applications including chiral sensing, [9] chiral separation, enantioselective catalysis,a nd advanced photonic devices. [10] Recently,c hiral metal oxides (Co 3 O 4 NPs, [11] MoO 3 NPs, [12] and WO 3Àx NPs [13] ), which exhibited intense optical activities in the visible range,h ave been synthesized using chiral ligands.S ome chiral metal sulfide nanomaterials such as HgS [14] and CdS [15] have also been prepared. These chiral NPs with deformations of the crystal lattices may be extended to other nanomaterials with tailorable chiroptical properties.Nanocrystalline copper sulfide (Cu 2Àx S) is ap -type semiconductor and am aterial of particular interest due to its promising applications in biomedicine, [16] and optoelectronic conversion (photovoltaics,p hotocatalysis,a nd thermoelectrics). [17] Endowing chirality to Cu 2Àx Sn anomaterials could enable aw ider range of potential applications for chiral Cu 2Àx Si nb iology,c hemistry,a nd physics.H owever, to date,n op ublications are available on the synthesis and application of chiral Cu 2Àx Snanomaterials.Circularly polarized light (CPL), one of the most attractive chiral sources,has been used to activate chiral assemblies to probe metal ions, [18] trigger photochemical reactions, [19] and fabricate chiral nanostructures. [20] Kotov et al. reported the use of right-(left-) handed CPL to assemble racemic CdTe
