Abstract

Here we have shown that it is possible to modulate π-π stacking, hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions to further adjust the supramolecular helicity by simply changing the core-substituted group. These modulated supramolecular interactions provide a new pathway to the controlled production of helical superstructures.
