Chiral amplification in columns of self-assembled N,N′,N-tris((S)-3,7-dimethyloctyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide in dilute solution

Remarkable control of chirality within a long and stable columnar self-assembly of N,N',N-Tris((S)-3,T-dimethyloctyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide in dilute solution is achieved by strong, unidirectional hydrogen bonding and cooperative side-chain interactions; IR and CD-spectroscopy have been used to elucidate these features.
