Host-guest effect on chirality transfer from a binaphthyl derivative to a host nematic liquid crystal.
A novel dichiral compound possessing both an asymmetric axis and a chiral centre induces opposite twist senses and distinct helical pitches in different host nematic liquid crystals; the host-guest effect on chirality transfer is discussed in terms of molecular recognition.
