Deskripsi
External physical forces can bias a spontaneous symmetry breaking process but whether the shape of a reactor plays a role in chiral symmetry breaking processes is an open question. Here, the authors demonstrate chirality transfer from the chiral shape of a 3D helical channel to chiral supramolecular aggregates whereby the handedness of the helical channel dictates the direction of enantioselection.
