Heilcal and chiral structures exist everywhere in nature. With the development of nanotechnology

nanomaterials with helical and asymmetric structures attracted much attention. These chiral nanomaterials are potentially applied in asymmetric catalysis

enantioseparation

chirality sensor and chiral optics. Herein

based on our group’s research

we would like give a brief review on the polybissilsesquioxanes prepared using organic self-assemblies as the templates

including formation mechanism

structural characterization and application in enantioseparation.
