In this review, we describe the recent advances in supramolecular helical assemblies
formed from chiral and achiral small molecules, oligomers (foldamers), and helical and …

It is not a coincidence that both chirality and noncovalent interactions are ubiquitous in
nature and synthetic molecular systems. Noncovalent interactivity between chiral molecules …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Due to the characteristics of optical rotation, selective emission of polarized light, and
circular dichroism, circularly polarized luminescent materials have aroused extensive …

As an active branch within the field of supramolecular polymers, chiral supramolecular
polymers (SPs) are an excellent benchmark to generate helical structures that can clarify the …

Hydrogen isotopes are unique tools for identifying and understanding biological and
chemical processes. Hydrogen isotope labelling allows for the traceless and direct …

The breadth of structure and function displayed by the molecules of biology is remarkable.
Considering that there are only three major biopolymer backbones (proteins, ribonucleic …

The helix is the central structural motif in biological macromolecules, such as DNA and
proteins, and is also the ubiquitous object in nature from microscopic to macroscopic points …

The origin of life is a fascinating, unresolved problem whose deciphering would have
important scientific, epistemological and social implications. Over time, philosophers and …

Biosystems, including ourselves, are very sensitive to the chirality of compounds; for
instance, monosodium L-glutamate is tasty, while its D-isomer is tasteless, and in many …
