Supramolecular chirality refers to the chiral properties that arise from the interactions between molecules, particularly in host-guest systems. These systems are characterized by a host molecule ...

In two separate investigations, published recently in Angewandte Chemie, Tsuda et al. 4 and Wolffs et al. 5 probe the induction of chirality in solutions of supramolecular fibres — micrometre ...

(Image: CICBiomaGUNE Chiral templates, such as DNA, proteins, and supramolecular assemblies, can guide the growth and organization of nanostructures into chiral configurations. By utilizing the ...

Chiral environments for supramolecular photoreactions: Supramolecular photochirogenesis is a completely new area of chemistry. Native and modified cyclodextrins have been employed as chiral hosts to ...

The research team leveraged hierarchical chirality transfer protocol to accomplish the stereospecific assembly of enantiomeric supramolecular snub cubes. These snub cubes exhibit remarkable ...

Chemists have unveiled new supramolecular snub cubes—2,712-atom polyhedral assemblies made up of 12 identical helical macrocycles that are held together by 144 weak hydrogen bonds. Snub cubes ...

Researchers at the Institute of Physical Chemistry at the University of Freiburg and the Institut Charles Sadron at the University of Strasbourg have now been able to show for the first time that ...

And while other research has shown that chiral cages are effective catalysts for covalent reactions, this is the first demonstration of their effectiveness for supramolecular polymerisation. "This ...

"The helical supramolecular polymer presented here is a new type of helical polymer." Polymers are a broad class of materials characterized by the large molecules that comprise them. They can be ...
