We show that chirality transfer from chiral polyoxometalates to achiral polyoxometalates can occur in aqueous solution with unexpected selectivity of surrounding counterions. In comparison with sodium ions, protonated dimethylammonium counterions play a critical role in shortening the inter-cluster distance, thus promoting the efficiency of chirality transfer.
