Sanders and coworkers have recently found supramolecular helical arrays of C o molecules in the tubular cavity of helical organic nanotubes composed of a-amino acid functionalized naphthalenediimides (10), which self-assembled to form hydrogen-bonded helical nanotubes in a nonpolar solution and in the solid state (Figure 6.11) [59]. The CD spectrum of the L-10-C,so complex exhibited weak but apparent Cotton effects at 595 and 663 nm due to electronic transitions of C o as...
