Water-mediated deracemization of a bisporphyrin helicate assisted by diastereoselective encapsulation of chiral guests

Deracemization is a powerful method which allows transformation of racemic mixtures into excess enantiomer, but was applied only to small chiral molecular systems so far. Here the authors report deracemization of a kinetically stable bisporphyrin helicate upon encapsulation of chiral aromatic guests...
