Chiral Supramolecular Systems Based on β ‐Cyclodextrin for Agricultural Applications: Differential Foliar Affinity, Biofilm Degradation, and Control Efficacy (Adv. Funct. Mater. 5/2026)
Abstract
Chiral Supramolecular Systems In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202514852), Kongjun Liu, Peiyi Wang, and co-workers report chirality-dependent supramolecular assemblies by encapsulating AQA-10S/R enantiomers within β-cyclodextrin (β-CD). This strategy significantly enhances foliar deposition, enantioselective biofilm disruption, and in planta protection, surpassing both commercial agents and free molecules. The work establishes a supramolecular framework integrating chirality and host–guest chemistry, offering a sustainable route toward broad-spectrum and environmentally benign agrochemicals.
