Self-assembly of tris(phenylisoxazolyl)benzene and its asymmetric induction of supramolecular chirality

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Jan 28:(4):468-70. doi: 10.1039/b715871h. Epub 2007 Nov 19.

Abstract

Tris(phenylisoxazolyl)benzene stacks in a columnar fashion to form helical fibers that act as an organogelator, and the supramolecular chirality is asymmetrically induced in the presence of a tiny amount of a chiral source in solution.
