Cholesterol-armed cyclen–Na+ complex as a chiral, helicated amphiphile for supramolecular architecture: self-aggregation and chirality induction in aqueous solution
Abstract
An octadentate Na+ complex of chiral cholesterol-armed cyclen has a quadruple helicated structure and forms a stable self-aggregate in aqueous solution which offers chirality induction of achiral 5-dimethylaminonaphthalen-1-ylsulfonylglycine anion.
