Abstract
Card-pack and head-to-tail types of self-assembly are formed upon aqueous d ilution of capsantholon 6 ' -epimers dissolved in water-miscible organic so lvents. Slow transformation of head-to-tail assembly into card-pack type is observed. Induced supramolecular chirality is seen upon addition of achira l beta -carotene, as judged from the increased intensity of exciton signal detected in circular dichroism spectra.
