A dynamic mixture of stereoisomeric macrocycles derived from glutamic acid displayed a homochiral self-selection when increasing the acetonitrile content of the aqueous mixed medium. The homochiral self-sorting required the anionic form of the side chains and increased at higher temperature, implying an entropic origin. Conformational analysis (NMR and MD simulations) allowed us to explain the observed behaviour. The results show that entropy can play a role in the homochiral self-sorting in adaptive bio-inspired chemical systems.

Several BINOL-derived C2-symmetric aldehydes were synthesized to investigate chiral self-sorting phenomena during macrocycle formation in the presence of aliphatic and aromatic bisamines. While self-sorting was unsuccessful with aliphatic amines, aromatic amine dictated complete homochiral self-sorting, confirmed by H NMR analysis and molecular modelling. Additionally, the impact of macrocyclization on the chiroptical properties of these macrocycles was examined.

A family of Pd cages prepared from ligands based on an axially chiral diamino-[1,1'-biazulene] motif (serving as a unique azulene-based surrogate of the ubiquitous BINOL moiety) is reported. We show that preparing a cage starting from the racemate of a shorter bis-monodentate ligand derivative, equipped with pyridine donor groups, leads to integrative ("social") chiral self-sorting, exclusively yielding the product, but only in a selection of solvents. This phenomenon is driven by individual solvent molecules acting as hydrogen bonding tethers between the amino groups of neighboring ligands, thereby locking the final coordination cage in a single isomeric form.

During the construction of supramolecular polymers of smaller nanoparticles/nanoclusters bearing hierarchy and homochirality, the mechanism understanding via intuitive visualization and precise cross-scale chirality modulation is still challenging. For this goal, a cooperative self-assembly strategy is here proposed by using ionic complexes with uniform chemical composition comprising polyanionic nanocluster cores and surrounded chiral cationic organic components as monomers for supramolecular polymerization. The single helical polymer chains bearing a core-shell structure at utmost length over 20 μm are demonstrated showing comparable flexibility resembling covalent polymers.

We herein investigate the formation of homochiral hierarchical self-assembled molecular networks (SAMNs) via chirality induction by the coadsorption of a chiral solvent at the liquid/graphite interface by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). In a mixture of achiral solvents, 1-hexanoic acid, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, an achiral dehydrobenzo[12]annulene (DBA) derivative with three alkoxy and three hydroxy groups in an alternating manner forms chiral hierarchical triangular cluster structures through dynamic self-sorting. Enantiomorphous domains appear in equal probability.

Recently, π-π stacked antiaromatic π-systems have received considerable attention because they can exhibit stacked-ring aromaticity due to substantial intermolecular orbital interactions. Here, we report three antiaromatic norcorrole dimers that self-assemble to form supramolecular architectures through chiral self-sorting. A 2,2'-linked norcorrole dimer with 3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl groups forms a π-stacked dimer both in solid and solution states via homochiral self-sorting.
