folding induced self-assembly of a lock-washer shaped foldamer. A secondary nucleation growth mechanism is proposed to explain the observed chiral amplification or deracemization of these supramolecular fibers.
Spontaneous asymmetric generation of supramolecular chiral fibers was observed in the folding induced self-assembly of a lock-washer shaped foldamer. A secondary nucleation growth mechanism is proposed to explain the observed chiral amplification or deracemization of these supramolecular fibers.
