Chirality transfer is of vital importance that dominates the structure and functionality of biological systems and living matters. External physical stimulations, e.g. polarized light and mechanical forces, can trigger the chirality symmetry breaking, leading to the appearance of the enantiomeric entities created from a chiral self‐assembly of achiral molecule. Here, several 2D assemblies with different...
Kinetic Controlled Chirality Transfer and Induction
Two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding assemblies with different chirality, e.g. achiral, homochiral and racemic, are synthesized on Au(111) surface by using achiral glycylglycine, one of the simplest polypeptides, as the building blocks. Chirality induction and related symmetry broken in assemblies are introduced by the handedness of the assembled motifs...
