title: A chiral luminescent Au16 ring self-assembled from achiral components.
abstract: A luminescent supramolecular chiral Au16 ring with 4.822 nm perimeter that self-assembled from a tetrameric array of achiral Au2 units is described. Intra- and intermolecular Au...Au interactions play an important role in directing its chiral self-assembly.
