Anion‐Assisted Supramolecular Polymerization: From Achiral AB‐Type Monomers to Chiral Assemblies

Abstract

Anions do make a difference! Counterions released during the acid-promoted self-assembly of AB-type monomer precursors dock into designated ancillary binding sites and thus facilitate the polymerization process while transferring their molecular properties to the entire supramolecular structure (see picture).
