Spontaneous symmetry breaking during self-assembly of a double stranded biphenolate-based Ti(IV)-helicate.
A binuclear Ti(IV)-based helicate synthesized from a symmetric tetrahydroxyheptaphenylene strand was self-assembled in solution and shown to undergo a spontaneous head-to-tail differentiation according to single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
