Self-organization and chirality in the high dilution solutions of glycoluril enantiomers with (R)- and (S)-methionine moieties

The high dilution (1×10^-15–1×10^-5 mol dm^-3) solutions of glycolurils containing an (S)-methionine moiety are capable of space-time self-organization to give nanoassociates, unlike the solutions of glycolurils with an (R)-methionine moiety. The formation of supra- molecular domains in the solutions at concentrations of 1×10^-3–1×10^-2 mol dm^-3 is responsible for a transition from molecular to supramolecular chirality.
