The simplest supramolecular helix

Abstract

Diethylamine is the smallest and simplest molecule that features a supramolecular helix as its lowest energy aggregate. Structural studies and large scale sampling simulations show that the helical arrangement is more stable than cyclic structures, which are the dominant species for other small hydrogen bonding molecules.
