Chirality is a fascinating phenomenon for recent electrochemistry and materials research, allowing for the preparation of detection platforms based on analyte enantiodiscrimination and the development of advanced chiroptical devices and chiral electrodes. In this Viewpoint, we highlight new directions in the field of chiral helical polyaromatic molecules (mainly helicenes) that are useful for the preparation of optically and redox-active polymers and/or self-assembled thin layers, nanostructures and functional electrode surfaces. Instead of the previously reported chiral materials prepared by molecular imprinting, a concept based on the preparation of inherently chiral helicene-based materials with (opto)electrochemical applicability is presented. A short overview of well-established electrochemical methods for the research of chiral molecules is also outlined.
