description A novel multi-channel barcode module was developed by using chiral co-crystals which contain field-induced SMM behavior and different emission bands. The chiral co-crystals [Zn(H<sub>2</sub>L)Dy(DBM)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>4</sub>(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>4</sub>⋅9CH<sub>3</sub>OH⋅H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>1a</b>) and [Zn(H<sub>2</sub>L)Dy(DBM)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>4</sub>(ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>4</sub>⋅8CH<sub>3</sub>OH⋅0.5H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>1b</b>) (H<sub>4</sub>L = 2,2′-[1,2-ethanediylbis[(hydroxyethylimino)methylene]]bis[6-methoxy-4-methyl-phenol], HDBM = dibenzoylmethane) were obtained through one-pot reaction of Zn<sup>II</sup> and Dy<sup>III</sup> with the achiral ligands H<sub>4</sub>L and HDBM. X-ray single crystal diffraction and CD spectroscopy confirmed that they are enantiomers crystallized in <i>P</i>4<sub>3</sub> (<b>1a</b>) and <i>P</i>4<sub>1</sub> (<b>1b</b>), both consisting of two ∆-[Zn(H<sub>2</sub>L)Dy(DBM)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> cations, two Λ-[Zn(H<sub>2</sub>L)Dy(DBM)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> cations and four (ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sup>−</sup> anions. The presence of Dy<sup>III</sup> ions endow them with the property of field-induced slow magnetic relaxation. The relatively low energy barrier of 35.0(9) K for complex <b>1</b> may be due to the poor axiality of the ligand field caused by the long Dy-O<sub>phenoxy</sub> bond lengths and the small O<sub>phenoxy</sub>-Dy-O<sub>phenoxy</sub> bond angles. Moreover, when the organic ligands H<sub>4</sub>L (λ<sub>ex</sub> = 350 nm) and Dy<sup>III</sup> (λ<sub>ex</sub> = 420 nm) are excited, different emission spectra are observed.
