Non-covalent interactions-driven host-guest assembly based on metallo-tweezers has been used to construct varied optical functional materials with attractive structures and properties. We reported here two pairs of chiral gold(Ⅰ)-based metallo-tweezers as hosts to clip Ag^Ⅰ or Cu^Ⅰ cations for circularly polarized phosphorescence (CPP), driven by the integration of two-fold coordination and heterometallophilic interactions. The Au^Ⅰ-based hosts and metal ions-guests formed sandwich structures in 1:1 ratio with high binding affinity. The achieved tweezer/cation adducts exhibited red-shifted absorption bands and circular dichroism signals, which were attributed to the newly formed ligand to metal-metal charge transfer process. Remarkably, the host-guest supramolecular adducts showed turn-on phosphorescence and CPP, which benefited from rigidifying effect of multiple intermolecular interactions and shorter excited-state lifetime. Overall, our findings bring new insights into the feasibility to achieve and modulate CPP performance by fabricating metallo-tweezer-based host-guest complexes.
