Supramolecular chiral sensing by supramolecular helical polymers
T. Hirao, Sei Kishino, Takeharu Haino
Abstract
A tetrakis(porphyrin) with branched side chains self-assembled to form supramolecular helical polymers both in solution and in the solid state. The helicity of the supramolecular polymers was determined by the chirality of solvent molecules, which permitted the polymer chains to be used in chiral sensing.
