description

Sergeants-and-soldiers experiments demonstrate the amplification of chirality that transforms the racemic mixture of helical columns formed from OPE-based trisamides into enantiomerically enriched helical structures (see scheme).The cooperative supramolecular polymerization of the trisamides is investigated by theoretical calculations and temperature-dependent UV/Vis and CD experiments.
