posted on 2005-12-28, 00:00 authored by Shu-Yan Yu, Zhong-Xing Zhang, Eddie Chung-Chin Cheng, Yi-Zhi Li, Vivian Wing-Wah Yam, Hai-Ping Huang, Rongben ZhangA luminescent supramolecular chiral Au16 ring with 4.822 nm perimeter that self-assembled from a tetrameric array of achiral Au2 units is described. Intra- and intermolecular Au···Au interactions play an important role in directing its chiral self-assembly.
