Abstract
The controllable chirality reversal and enhancement at a supramolecular level is crucial for the synthesis and applications of circularly active materials, which has been achieved by a pH-adjusted amphiphilic chiral surfactant assembly approach, and reveals the relationship between the chirality behavior and its assembly morphology in a non-covalent interaction regime and its ability to transfer chirality from chiral molecules to achiral ones under appropriate conditions.
