Abstract

Abstract Herein, two asymmetric chiral bent-core molecules, 3-[(4-{[4-(heptyloxy) benzoyl] oxy} benzoyl) oxy]-phenyl-4-[(4-{[(1R)-1-methylheptyl] oxy} benzoyl) oxy] benzoate (BC7R) and 3-[(4-{[4-(heptyloxy) benzoyl] oxy} benzoyl) oxy]-phenyl-4-[(4-{[(1S)-1-methylheptyl] oxy} benzoyl) oxy] benzoate (BC7S), were synthesized to demonstrate control of the helicity of their self-assembled hierarchical superstructures. Mirror-imaged CD spectra showed a ...
