Assembly-driven synthesis of hybrid molecular capsules controlled by chiral sorting

Abstract

Chiral capsules with polar interiors (reversed capsules) undergo heterochiral sorting and exhibit positive mutalism – both hemispheres mutually benefit from the association. This feature can be coupled with partial reversibility of the formation reaction and utilized to amplify synthesis of hybrid capsules made of hemispheres that cannot be formed independently.
