Abstract

Interaction of the achiral syn (face-to-face) conformer of the ethane-bridged bis(zinc octaethylporphyrin) with the enantiopure 1,2-diaminocyclohexane results in the exclusive formation of a supramolecular chiral tweezer. This 1:1 host-guest complex exhibits remarkable stability in both solution (even upon photoexcitation) and solid-state phases, with a high degree of optical activity arising from the two-point interaction mode and optimal spatial geometry.
