Self-assembly of tris(phenylisoxazolyl)benzene and its asymmetric induction of supramolecular chirality

摘要

Tris(phenylisoxazolyl)benzene stacks in a columnar fashion to form helical fibers that act as an organogelator, and the supramolecular chirality is asymmetrically induced in the presence of a tiny amount of a chiral source in solution. Low-molecular-mass organic gelators with π-conjugated molecular structures represent remarkable examples of stacked molecular self-assemblies, which create one-dimensional nanostructured fibers.
