Abstract

Induction of chirality in achiral monolayers has garnered considerable attention in the recent past not only due to its importance in chiral resolutions and enantioselective heterogeneous catalysis but also because of its relevance to the origin of homochirality in life. In this contribution, we demonstrate the emergence of macroscopic chirality in multicomponent supramolecular networks formed by achiral molecules at the interface of a chiral solvent and an achiral substrate. The solvent-mediated chiral induction provides a simple, efficient, and versatile approach for the fabrication of homochiral surfaces using achiral building blocks.
