    Abstract

    Homochiral hydrogen-bonded cyclic assemblies are formed in dilute solutions of racemic supramolecular polymers based on the quadruple hydrogen bonding 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone unit, as observed by 1H NMR and SEC experiments. Preorganization of the monomers and the combined binding strength of the eight hydrogen bonds result in a very high stability of the cyclic aggregates with pronounced selectivity between homochiral and heterochiral cyclic species, usually only observed in crystalline or liquid crystalline phases.
