In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

Spontaneous deracemizations is a challenging, multidisciplinary subject in current chirality
research. In the absence of any chiral inductors, an achiral substance or a racemic …

Advances in the field of supramolecular chemistry have made it possible, in many situations,
to reliably engineer soft materials to address a specific technological problem. Particularly …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Chirality is a fundamental property and vital to chemistry, biology, physics and materials
science. The ability to use asymmetry to operate molecular-level machines or …

Supramolecular symmetry breaking, in which chiral assemblies with imbalanced right-and
left-handedness emerge from achiral molecular building blocks, has been achieved in the …

Foldamers can be made more than pieces of static, conformationally uniform molecular
architecture by designing into their structure the conformational dynamism characteristic of …

Although chirality has been recognized as an essential entity for life, it still remains a big
mystery how the homochirality in nature emerged in essential biomolecules. Certain achiral …

The functions of complex crystalline systems derived from supramolecular biological and
non-biological assemblies typically emerge from homochiral programmed primary structures …

Helical nanofibres play key roles in many biological processes. Entanglements between
helices can aid gelation by producing thick, interconnected fibres, but the details of this …
