Abstract

The design of molecular-level communication tools engages the field of nanobiotechnology. In this issue of Chem, Clayden and coworkers report a novel mechanism of spatial molecular communication through a single strand of hydrogen-bonded oligomers. These "minimalistic'' polarity switches distinguish themselves from conventional strategies by not employing chiral inversion.
