Abstract

Confinement within supramolecular systems is the leading technology to finely tune guest functional properties. In this communication we report the synthesis of a chiral supramolecular cage able to bias the helicity of a perfluorinated carbon chain hosted within the cage. We monitor the phenomenon of chiral induction by Vibrational Circular Dichroism (VCD) experiments complemented by DFT calculations over the possible conformers.
