The molecular recognition controlled stereomutation cycle in a dynamic helical assembly.
Perylene bisimide functionalized with a phosphate recognition unit assembles into a left-handed, right-handed or racemic helical assembly on binding with AMP, ATP and inorganic phosphates, respectively. Thus, competitive binding among these multivalent guests was utilized for completing an unprecedented helix mutation cycle in a dynamic supramolecular assembly.
