33. 3 symmetry. In the absence of chiral centers, the assemblies are present as a racemic mixture of P and M helices. If one enantiomer of a barbituric or cyanuric acid with a chiral center is used in the self-assembly, only one diastereoisomer of the double rosette (of P or M helicity) is formed, which represents an induction of supramolecular chirality. The diastereoisomerism of the double-rosette assemblies allows them to be studied by CD.

37. The intercolumn distance h is calculated with the formula h = d/ cos(π/6), where d is the distance between the (100) planes, which corresponds to the distance between adjacent layers of double-rosette columns.
