Without external chiral intervention, it is a challenge to form homochirality  from  achiral  molecules  with  conformational  flexibility.  We   here   report   on   a   rational   strategy   that   uses   multivalent   noncovalent  interactions  to  clamp  the  molecular  conformational  of  achiral  D-A  molecules.  These  interactions  overcome  the  otherwise  dominant dipole-dipole interactions and thus disfavor their symmetric antiparallel  stacking.  It  in  turn  facilitates  parallel  packing,  leading  to  spontaneous  symmetry  breaking  during  crystallization  and  thus  the  formation   of   homochiral   conglomerates.   When   this   emergent   homochirality  is  coupled  with  optical  gain  characteristics  of  the  molecules, the homochiral crystals are explored as excellent circularly polarized  micro-lasers  with  low  lasing  threshold  (16.4  μJ/cm2)  and  high  dissymmetry  factor  glum  (0.9).  This  study  therefore  provides  a  facile design strategy for supramolecular chiral materials and active laser ones without the necessity of intrinsic chiral element.
