Abstract
The long alkyl chain of N,N'-bis(4-dimethylaminobenzyl)dodecane-1,12-diamine (C(12)DA) adopts different chiral helical conformations, one left-handed and the other right-handed, when bound within the cavities of two distorted cucurbit[8]uril (Q[8]) units, as unequivocally established by X-ray crystallography.
