Abstract
Chirality-induced recognition-promoted molecule-level self-sorting assembly in a two-component supramolecular gel system constructed by two polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) core-based dendritic gelators with similar geometry and peripheral functionality, which would normally form a homogeneous co-assembled network.
