The design of new chiral materials usually requires stereoselective organic synthesis to create molecules with chiral centers. Less commonly, achiral molecules can self-assemble into chiral materials, despite the absence of intrinsic molecular chirality. Here, we demonstrate the assembly of high-symmetry molecules into a chiral van der Waals structure by synthesizing crystals of C<sub>60</sub>(SnI<sub>4</sub>)<sub>2</sub> from icosahedral buckminsterfullerene (C<sub>60</sub>) and tetrahedral SnI4 molecules through spontaneous self-assembly. The SnI<sub>4</sub> tetrahedra template the Sn atoms into a chiral cubic three-connected net of the SrSi<sub>2</sub> type that is held together by van der Waals forces. Our results represent the remarkable emergence of a self-assembled chiral material from two of the most highly symmetric molecules, demonstrating that almost any molecular, nanocrystalline, or engineered precursor can be considered when designing chiral assemblies.

In the title 3-azabicyclononane derivative, C22H22N2, both the fused piperidine and cyclohexane rings adopt a chair conformation. The phenyl rings attached to the central azabicylononane fragment in an equatorial orientation are inclined to each other at 23.7 (1)°. The amino group is not involved in any hydrogen bonding, so the crystal packing is stabilized only by van der Waals forces.

In the title compound, C26H48N2Si4, the cycloheptane ring adopts a chair conformation, while the quinolinyl ring system is almost planar [maximum deviation = 0.040 (3) Å for one of the C atoms carrying a Me3Si group]. In the crystal, in the absence of classical hydrogen bonding, the packing is dominated by van der Waals forces. One of the N-bound trimethylsilyl groups is disordered by rotation about the C—SiMe3bond, and was modelled over two sets of sites in the ratio 0.873 (8):0.127 (8).

The title compound, (5R,9R,13S,14S,17R)-14-hydroxy-3-methoxy-17-methyl-4,5-epoxymorphinan-6-oneN-oxide, C18H21NO5, has been prepared in a diastereomerically pure form by the reaction of oxycodone with 3-chloroperbenzoic acid and subsequent crystallization of the product from chloroform. The crystal packing shows that the molecule exhibits intramolecular O—H...O [D...A= 2.482 (2) Å] hydrogen bonding. In addition, there are weak intermolecular C—H...O interactions which, along with van der Waals forces, stabilize the structure. The new chiral center at the 17-position is demonstrated to beR.

In the title compound, C19H23N3OS, the two fused rings of the thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4(3H)-one system are almost coplanar. The packing of the molecules in the crystal structure is determined by van der Waals forces. No intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions or π–π stacking interactions are present in the crystal structure.

Aptamers were first described almost 30 years ago, with the publication of three separate research papers describing how a randomized library of RNA sequences could be incubated with a target to find a sequence that specifically binds via van der Waals forces, covalent and hydrogen bonding, and not Watson Crick base pairing [...]
