Abstract

Detailed kinetic investigations demonstrate the fundamental role of kinetic parameters in the expression and transmission of chirality in supramolecular systems. The rate of the aggregation process leading to the formation of J-aggregates strongly affects the size of these nanoassemblies and the chiral induction.
