Abstract Among the key characteristics of living systems are their ability to self‐replicate and fact that they exist in an open system away from equilibrium. Herein, we show how outcome competition between two self‐replicators, differing size building block composition, is different depending on whether experiments conducted a closed vial or out‐of‐equilibrium replication–destruction regime. In system, slower replicator eventually prevails over faster competitor. replication‐destruction...
Abstract Porphyrin cage-compounds are used as biomimetic models and substrate-selective catalysts in supramolecular chemistry. In this work we present the resolution of planar-chiral porphyrin cages determination their absolute configuration by vibrational circular dichroism combination with density functional theory calculations. The chiral porphyrin-cages form complexes achiral viologen-guests upon binding one axial enantiomorphs guest is bound selectively, indicated...
Self-replicating molecules provide a simple approach for investigating fundamental processes in scenarios of the emergence life. Although homochirality is an important aspect life and how it emerged, effects chirality on self-replicators have received only little attention so far. Here, we report several self-assembled with enantioselectivity that emerge spontaneously grow from enantiopure material. These require relatively small number chiral units replicators (down to eight) precursors...
