Abstract A complex aggregation pathway towards two diastereomeric P and M supramolecular helices arises from the of a short, chiral, rigid oligo(phenyleneethynylene) [OPE, ( S )‐ 1 ]. Thus, while Agg I aggregate is obtained when DCM solution diluted with MCH at room temperature, II generated only after slow heating (353 K)/cooling (273 K) process. Interestingly, during formation (mechanism 1), short chain oligomers are produced, which have great tendency to in plane, yielding brick‐like...

Restricting operator to double excitations, we have carried out first implementation invariant theory. Test calculations energy,...
