Cover Feature: Helicity Control of Supramolecular Gel Fibers Consisting of an Achiral NiII Complex in a Chiral Nematic Solvent (Chem. Eur. J. 48/2018)

The supramolecular chirality of aggregates consisting of an achiral NiII complex can be generated and controlled precisely in chiral nematic liquid crystalline (LC) solvent, while the complex naturally forms achiral gel fibers in achiral nematic LC solvents and crystals in non‐mesogenic solvents. Direction and intensity in the helicity of the gel fibers in the LC gel state can be adjusted according to the helical twisting nature and concentration of the chiral dopants.
