Induced preference for axial chirality in a triarylmethylium o,o-dimer upon complexation with natural γ-cyclodextrin: strong ECD signaling and fixation of supramolecular chirality to molecular chirality

Abstract

The ratio of the easily interconverting rotational isomers of biphenyl-2,2′-diylbis[bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)methylium] (R)/(S)-1a2+ can be biased to prefer an R configuration upon 1 : 1 complexation with γ-cyclodextrin in water. Through the reaction with Na2S, the preference of 1a2+@γ-CyD for an axial chirality of R can be fixed as the M-helicity of dihydrothiepin 2.
