Supramolecular chirality
ID: supramolecular-chirality
Supramolecular chirality refers to the phenomenon of chirality that arises in supramolecular assemblies, which are larger-scale structures formed through non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, ionic interactions, and coordination bonds. Unlike molecular chirality, which is primarily a property of individual chiral molecules that lack an internal mirror symmetry, supramolecular chirality involves the collective behavior of multiple molecules arranged in a certain way.
