This Account describes how concepts used in the fields of host-guest chemistry and chiral molecular recognition may be used to explain the unique chiral induction behavior of molecules with atropisomeric biphenyl cores when doped into a two-dimensionally ordered smectic liquid crystal phase formed by rod-shaped molecules with a phenylpyrimidine core structure.
