Enantioselective molecular recognition of chiral molecules that lack specific interaction sites for hydrogen bonding or Lewis acid-base interactions remains challenging. Here we introduce the concept of tailored chiral π-surfaces toward the maximization of shape complementarity. As we demonstrate for helicenes it is indeed possible by pure van-der-Waals interactions (π-π interactions and CH-π interactions) to accomplish enantioselective binding. This is shown for a novel benzo[ghi]perylene trisi ...[more]
