Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>When new topologically appealing molecules</bold> are formed, fantasy‐assisted cogitation tries to associate their shapes to objects of everyday life: knots, cylinders, pretzels, baskets, ladders, etc. Chirality adds a touch of intelligence to these molecules, which gain the ability to recognize enantiomorphic species. In their Communication on <ext-link ext-link-type="doi" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">page 15298 ff., </ext-link> F. Sannicolò et al. describe some inherently chiral elliptical and triangular oligothiophene macrocycles which they associate with the pictograms of some more or less mysterious crop circles.
