HOT Article: Enantiopure dimers from ‘fish hook’ molecules

Kraig E. Wheeler and co-workers at Eastern Illinois University have produced a rare example of  an engineered, chiral, bimolecular solid-state reaction.

Read more about these ‘fish hook’ shaped molecules being fashioned into supramolecular dimers in this CrystEngComm Hot article.
