Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on
our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the l-amino acids (with …

This review highlights and summarizes various optically active porphyrin and
phthalocyanine molecules prepared using a wide range of structural modification methods …

Supramolecular chemistry, defined as “chemistry outside a molecule”, is at the heart of the
development of chemistry of complex systems, molecular devices, ensembles, and …

Chirality that is induced, monitored, controlled, or applied via the principles of a
supramolecular approach is a modern interdisciplinary field of research that deals with …

Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy is one of the most useful techniques for the
stereochemical analysis of chiral biopolymers and fine chemicals. It has become invaluable …

The two-volume Encyclopedia of Supramolecular Chemistry offers authoritative, centralized
information on a rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field. User-friendly and high-quality …

In this critical review we present examples of coordination complexes with efficient chiral
transfer determining stereochemistry at the metal centre and throughout the overall …

A unique feature of synthetic helical polymers for the detection and amplification of chirality
is briefly described in this article. In sharp contrast to host–guest and supramolecular …

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