Asymmetric catalysis mediated by a mirror symmetry-broken helical nanoribbon
If asymmetric catalysts were available by mirror symmetry breaking, an important insight may be given to how the biomolecular homochirality emerged in nature. Here, the authors report the first example of asymmetric catalysis by employing mirror symmetry-broken helical nanoribbons as the ligand.
