The interplay of configuration and conformation in helical perylenequinones: Insights from chirality induction in liquid crystals and calculations

The chirality transfer in liquid crystals induced by two helical perylenequinones (namely, the natural compounds cercosporin and phleichrome) was investigated by integrating measurements of helical twisting power with a conformational analysis by DFT calculations and with the prediction of their twi...
