Chiral tris(phenylisoxazolyl)benzenes possessing a perylenebisimide moiety assembled to form helical stacks. The self-assembling behavior of the stacks responded changes in solvent properties, temperature, and concentration. Strong circular dichroism (CD) circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) their assemblies were displayed, controlled by external stimuli.
