Abstract

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue is Bernd Schmidt and co‐workers at University of Potsdam and Irena G. Stará, Ivo Starý and co‐workers at IOCB Prague. The image depicts two assemblies of an amphiphilic helicene molecule that float on the water surface and differ in chirality: The racemic "raft" is more stable than the enantiopure one.

Abstract : "… we have observed an interesting behaviour of bare amphiphilic helicenes in Langmuir layers and Langmuir–Blodgett films that is controlled by molecular chirality and the nature of the polar group ."
