Control of Macroscopic Helicity by Using the Sergeants‐and‐Soldiers Principle in Organogels

Abstract

The creation of well-defined homochiral helical ribbon structures in gel phase is presented. This is the first example of direct and complete control of microscopic and macroscopic helicity in the gel phase by application of the “sergeants-and-soldiers” principle by using an achiral gelator and a chiral trigger (see graphic).
