Abstract:

The field of crystal engineering has evolved from the amalgamation of supramolecular self-assembly, bridging the interdisciplinary domains of crystallography, materials science, and synthetic chemistry. The crystal engineering for supramolecular chirality constitutes a specialized branch within this field, utilizing the principles and techniques of crystal engineering to design chiral supramolecular building blocks, create chiral supramolecular crystalline materials, and investigate potential applications in enantiomer-selective recognition, separation, and catalysis.

Key words: Crystal engineering, Supramolecular chirality, Chiral supramolecular crystalline materials, Chiral building blocks, Self-assembly
