An inherently chiral C3-symmetric triaminotribenzotriquinacene was condensed in racemic and enantiomerically pure form with a bis(salicylaldehyde) to form [2+3] salicylimine cage compounds. Investigations on the chiral self-sorting revealed that while entropy favors narcissistic self-sorting in solution...

Interestingly, a self-sorting behavior between the open form and closed form in the self-assembly was observed (Figures S17 and S18). This finding indicated that the ring-open form and ring-closed form could not be assembled into one single metallacycle in this case because of their ...
Chiral amplification in molecular self-assembly has profound impact on the recognition and separation of chiroptical materials, biomolecules, and pharmaceuticals. An understanding of how to control this phenomenon is nonetheless restricted by the structu
