Macroscopic expression of the chirality of amino alcohols by a double amplification mechanism in liquid crystalline media.
The central chirality of simple amino alcohols was amplified by binding to a dynamically axially chiral biphenol receptor and expressed as supramolecular chirality by effecting a change from a nematic to a cholesteric liquid crystalline phase.
