Dynamic helical assemblies with chiroptical functionality : a supramolecular chiral auxiliary approach

Abstract

Introduces the field of asymmetric non-covalent synthesis of supramolecular polymers through chiral auxiliary approach. The major emphasis is given to various design strategies employed for the guest induced helicity in self-assembly of π-conjugated chromophores. An overview of the important developments in this field along with its potential chiroptical functionality based applications is presented.
