Transfer and control of molecular chirality in the 1 : 2 host–guest supramolecular complex consisting of Mg(ii)bisporphyrin and chiral diols: the effect of H-bonding on the rationalization of chirality

Abstract

A clear rationalization of the origin of chirality transfer from an optically active diol guest to an achiral Mg(II)bisporphyrin host in a series of 1 : 2 host–guest supramolecular complexes has been reported here that has so far remained the most outstanding issue for the chirogenic process.
