Surfactant-induced chirality on reluctant aggregates of a chiral amphiphilic cationic (l)-proline–Zn(ii)porphyrin conjugate in water†
Abstract
Self-assembly of a chiral amphiphilic Zn(II)porphyrin derivative in water gave CD silent species. If the aggregation process occurs in aqueous solutions of chiral surfactants, CD active species are formed with a highly specific molecular recognition effect.
