Hot Article: Double helical organic dimers

Guoqi Zhang, Guoqiang Yang and coworkers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing make a series of bis(pyrrolyl)carbohydrazide derivatives in this CrystEngComm Hot article.

The compounds aggregate to form double helices in the solution state, an interesting discovery, as artificial double helices are very rare.
