Monomeric systems, amplification

Fig. 4.78 Majority rules principle as model for chirality amplification in (intermolecular) polymerisation of (unsymmetrically substituted) monomeric ethenes to form polymers, which can also convey the concept of (intramolecular) transmission of chiral perturbations [e.g. emanating from a stereogenic centre) in dendritic molecules The perturbation introduced into a system having a prior order (dance group a) in the form of an ex-...

Chiral supramolecular architectures generated from non-chiral monomeric units were reported in a number of systems in solution and have been summarized in a comprehensive review [114]. An amplification of chirality on hydrogen-bonded assemblies, controlled by different substitutions and structural variations in the building blocks, has been recently described by Rein-houdt et al. [115].
