Pseudo-enantiomeric chiral components and formation of the helical micro- and nanostructures in charge-transfer complexes

Helical organic micro- and nanostructures are formed by a charge-transfer complex, cinchonidine-TCNQ. These unusual forms result from the chirality, the steric structure and specific interactions of cinchonidine molecules. These materials are semiconductors (10−4 S cm−1), with the typical absorption...
