98. Even at a 20 % incorporation of the chiral PBI-3 in a H-type stack of achiral PBI-1, the CD signal intensity is almost saturated due to the "sergeant-and-soldier" principle. For few recent examples on such chiral amplifications in other supramolecular assemblies, see: a) A. Lohr, F. Würthner, Chem. Commun. 2008, 2227;

105. Although CD spectroscopic studies revealed a preferential population of one-handed helices in chiral solvent, AFM images of the gels made in (R)-limonene were found to consist of both types of helices. It should be noted that gelation is a very fast process, which occurs at a much higher chromophore concentration than the solution chiroptical studies. Thus, the chiral induction from external sources may not be adequate in effectively populating only one-handed helices. Even PBI-6, which has one chiral alkyl group as a peripheral substituent, forms both handed helices, which indicates a weak influence of the remote chiral center in the alkyl side chain on the chromophore packing in the fast gelation process. However, in PBI-3, in which all of the three alkyl substituents are chiral, only P-type helices were found in AFM studies.
