Abstract

A clear rationalization of the origin of chirality transfer from an optically active diol guest to an achiral Mg(II)bisporphyrin host in a series of 1?:?2 host–guest supramolecular complexes has been reported here that has so far remained the most outstanding issue for the chirogenic process.
