Molecular material properties depend upon the contacts between and the arrangement of
the component parts, and therefore supramolecular chemistry has developed a highly …

Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

We report on the synthesis and self-assembly of 2, 15-and 4, 13-disubstituted carbo [6]
helicenes 1 and 2 bearing 3, 4, 5-tridodecyloxybenzamide groups. The self-assembly of …

Circularly polarized light is central to many photonic technologies, including circularly
polarized ellipsometry-based tomography,, optical communication of spin information and …

Balancing the second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficient, band gap, and birefringence
is a vital but addressable challenge for designing infrared nonlinear optical materials. By …

Helicenes are polycyclic aromatic compounds with nonplanar screw-shaped skeletons
formed by ortho-fused benzene or other aromatic rings. 1, 2 The first helicenes 1 and 2 …

Carbohelicenes are a class of fascinating chiral helical molecules which have a rich history
in chemistry. Over a period of almost 100 years, chemists have developed many methods to …

In this review, we survey the diversity of structures and functions which are encountered in
advanced self-assembled nanomaterials. We highlight their flourishing implementations in …

Expanded helicenes are an emerging class of helical nanocarbons composed of alternating
linear and angularly fused rings, which give rise to an internal cavity and a large diameter …

Halide perovskites have emerged as a type of extremely promising material for their diverse
chemical and electronic structures along with their brilliant optoelectronic properties. The …
