Chiroptical coassemblies between organic carboxylic acids and amino acid derivatives with C3-symmetry

Abstract

Benzimidazole amino acid derivatives behave as supramolecular hosts to include organic acids via complementary hydrogen bonding whereby supramolecular chirality and chiroptical properties could be manipulated. Organic acids enhanced the chiral assembly that showed tunable circularly polarized luminescence with high dissymmetry g-factors at 10−2 grade.
