Abstract

Chirality at a supramolecular level is currently attracting great attention attributed to rapid developments in supramolecular chemistry. Herein, we report a new type of chiral self-assembly based on the cyanine dye MTC. The chiral H-aggregates of MTC could form spontaneously from achiral J-aggregates, and could return back to achiral J-aggregates in high concentration on increasing the solution temperature.
