Control of supramolecular chirality in co-crystals of achiral molecules<i>via</i>stacking interactions and hydrogen bonding
Ivan V. Fedyanin
Abstract
An approach is proposed to obtain non-centrosymmetric multicomponent crystal structures by co-crystallization of achiral molecules that can form both H-bonded chains along a 2-fold screw axis and infinite π-stacks propagating by translation.
