Fig. 40. Self-assembly of the polymolecular supramolecular species (TP2, TU2) 174 from the complementary chiral components TP2 and TU2 via hydrogen bonding T represents L-, D- or meso(M)-tartaric acid R = Ci2H25.

Fig. 12 Neat melamine Hekates 40, their 1 1 host-guest complexes 41,42 and the 1 3 aggregates of a melamine core with three arms 43 and 44. The disk-shaped aggregates 41 stack in a Colrd phase [99]. The Janus-type Hekate 42 arrange in a Colh phase with hexagonal superstructure of the nanosegregated semi-perfluorinated chains [105]. The supramolecular Hekate discs 43-45 self-assemble by hydrogen bonding of the three arms around a melamine core...

A columnar mesophase has been used by the group of Percec for the creation of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers.60-61 The phase separation of the apolar side groups of substituted benzamides with the core of the molecule accounts for the self-assembly into a cylindrical structure in which hydrogen bonding acting along the columnar axis occurs and stabilizes the column.

Nature itself is full of supramolecular systems, for example, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is made up from two strands which self-assemble via hydrogen bonds and aromatic stacking interactions to form the famous double helical structure (see Chapter 3, Section 3.2.4). The inspiration for many supramolecular species designed and developed by chemists has come from biological systems.

A supramolecular synthon that favors one enantiomer over another is called a supramolecular chiron. It was defined by Nangia as the minimal homo- or heterochi-ral molecular unit or an ensemble capable of generating ordered superstructures by self-assembly through hydrogen bonding or other noncovalent forces, and leading to topologically distinct enantio- or diastereopure architectures. ...
