Chirality plays a central role in molecular recognition, and systems combining multiple, interdependent chiral elements can offer enhanced enantioselectivity. Here, the authors show that covalent tethering of a dihydroxy-pillar[5]arene with meso-2,11-dibromododecanedioate affords diastereomeric pseudo[1]catenanes that combine three stereogenic features, enabling enantioselective chiroptical sensing.
