In this paper, we systematically explore several key properties of electronic states in one-dimensional (1D) helical crystals, including the inheritance of orbital angular momentum from local atomic orbitals to the entire helical structure, the helical momentum, and the emergence of helical-induced spin-orbit coupling (hSOC). We then apply this comprehensive theoretical framework to elucidate the electronic structure of the 1D helical crystal InSeI.
