Chiral intertwined spirals and magnetic transition dipole moments dictated by cylinder helicity.

ABSTRACT: The presence of anomalous chirality in a roll of graphitic carbon sheets has been recognized since the discovery of carbon nanotubes, which are becoming available in higher quantities through the isolation of chiral single-wall congeners with high purity. Exploration of the properties arising from cylinder chirality is expected to expand the scope of tubular entities in the future. By studying molecular fragments of helical carbon nanotubes, we herein reveal interesting properties that arise from this chirality. The chirality of nanoscale cylinders resulted in chirality of larger dimensions in the form of a double-helix assembly. Cylinder chirality in solution gave rise to a large dissymmetry factor of metal-free entities in circular polarized luminescence. Theoretical investigations revea
