The iterative association of monomer units through noncovalent interactions often leads to chiral supramolecular polymers. Monomers comprising these materials can be further divided into those with chiral centers and those without. The latter class is often less studied but attractive since it features monomer designs with chirality at the core rather than the periphery of the molecules. In this mini-review, we summarize the existing strategies to construct supramolecular polymers from chiral molecules with no chiral centers and offer perspectives on fundamental trends and differences between them and their counterparts with chiral centers. © 2020 Society of Industrial Chemistry

无手性中心的手性分子的超分子聚合

单体单元通过非共价相互作用的迭代缔合通常会导致手性超分子聚合物。包含这些材料的单体可进一步分为具有手性中心的单体和不具有手性中心的单体。后一类通常研究较少但很有吸引力，因为它的特点是单体设计在核心而不是分子外围具有手性。在这篇小型综述中，我们总结了从没有手性中心的手性分子构建超分子聚合物的现有策略，并提供了关于它们与具有手性中心的对应物之间的基本趋势和差异的观点。© 2020 工业化学学会
