Sergeants‐and‐Soldiers Principle in Chiral Columnar Stacks of Disc‐Shaped Molecules with C 3 Symmetry

Year: 1997

Type: article

Abstract: Extremely effective cooperative effects operate during the formation of chiral stacks of C3-symmetrical molecules in alkane solvents (a molecule is depicted on the right). The sergeants-and-soldiers principles as well as chiral solvation lead to a preferred helical sense in the columnar aggregates. The amplification of chirality in dynamic systems shows the precision in aggregation.
