Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Anion‐induced π–π stacking with triiodide ions (see picture: purple) binding inside the cavities of homochiral molecular prisms leads to the formation of single‐handed supramolecular molecules. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 13100 ff., </ext-link> J. F. Stoddart, M. R. Wasielewski, et al. show that this process happens with chirality transfer and is aided by through‐space orbital interactions within the prisms, which lead to electron sharing around a triangular cavity upon reduction.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t79zz55" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
