Self-discriminating and hierarchical assembly of racemic binaphthyl-bisbipyridines and silver ions: from metallocycles to gel nanofibers.
A heterochiral metallocycle was formed by self-discriminating assembly of racemic bisbipyridines and silver ions, and further self-organized into nanofibers immobilizing organic solvents in a distinct pattern from the enantiopure version reported by us previously.
