Surfactant-induced chirality transfer, amplification and inversion in a cucurbit[8]uril–viologen host–guest supramolecular system

Abstract

The L4 molecular chirality can be amplified to a supramolecular scale by coassembling with SDS. Further incorporation of the CB[8] leads to a chirality inversion via a change from lamellar structure of L4/SDS to rectangular stacking in L4/SDS/CB[8].
