Rational design of small molecular gelators is an elusive and herculean task, despite the
rapidly growing body of literature devoted to such gels over the past decade. The process of …

The synthesis of two series of N-annulated perylene bisimides (PBIs), compounds 1 and 2,
is reported, and their self-assembling features are thoroughly investigated by a complete set …

This book details chiroptical spectroscopic methods: electronic circular dichroism (ECD),
optical rotatory dispersion (ORD), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and vibrational …

Plasmonic nanoparticles, particularly gold nanoparticles (GNPs) hold a great potential as
structural and functional building blocks for three-dimensional (3D) nanoarchitectures with …

We provide a geometric-mechanical model for calculating equilibrium configurations of
chemical systems that self-assemble into chiral ribbon structures. The model is based on …

Because the combination of chiral and magnetic properties is becoming more and more
attractive for magneto-chiral phenomena, we here aim at exploring the induction of chirality …

Synthesis of chiral inorganic or hybrid nanomaterials through sol–gel transcription of chiral
organic templates has attracted a great deal of interest for more than a decade. However …

A synthetic strategy was developed for the preparation of porphyrins containing between
one and four stereogenic centers, such that their molecular weights vary only as a result of …

A supramolecular approach based on self-assembled structures allows the formation of
large structured co-assemblies based on chiral and achiral compounds with original …

The gelating abilities of enantiopure, racemic, and different enantio-enriched mixtures of 12-
hydroxystearic acid (12HSA) have been compared in order to clarify conflicting reports in the …
