Abstract

Abstract : The racemate of an inherently chiral "spider‐like" octathiophene monomerT83, in which chirality is generated by torsion in its backbone, was synthesized. In the cover image, the ( S )‐T83 has woven a highly selective chiral web in which enantiomorphic insects (l ‐ andd ‐DOPA, R ‐ and S ‐FcA) are differently entrapped.
