Graphical Abstract

Achirale Pyrenoligomere α zeigen eine bemerkenswerte Chiralitätsverstärkung (siehe Circulardichroismusspektren) in Gegenwart geringster Mengen eines chiralen Induktors χ. Spektroskopische und elektronenmikroskopische Daten stützen ein Modell, dem zufolge die Pyrenoligomere durch Stapelwechselwirkungen helicale supramolekulare Polymere bilden.
