Spontaneous development of chirality in systems composed of achiral molecules is important for new routes to asymmetric synthesis, chiral superstructures and materials, as well as for the understanding of the mechanisms of emergence of prebiotic chirality. Herein, it is shown that the 4,4′-diphenylbenzil unit is a universal transiently chiral bent building block for the design of multi-chained (polycatenar) rod-like molecules capable of forming a wide variety of helically twisted network structures in the liquid, the liquid crystalline (LC) and the crystalline state. Single polar substituents at the apex of tricatenar molecules support the formation of the achiral (racemic) cubic double network phase with Ia (Formula presented.) d symmetry and relatively small twist along the networks. The combination of an alkyl chain with fluorine substitution leads to the homogeneously chiral triple network phase with I23 space group, and in addition, provides a mirror symmetry broken liquid. Replacing F by Cl or Br further increases the twist, leading to a short pitch double gyroid Ia (Formula presented.) d phase, which is achiral again. The effects of the structural variations on the network structures, either leading to achiral phases or chiral conglomerates are analyzed.

(Chemical Equation Presented) Hyperbranched polymers with a degree of branching of 100% were prepared by catalyst transfer Suzuki-Miyaura polymerization of AB2 monomers carrying one boronic acid and two aromatic bromo functional groups; in contrast, Suzuki-Miyaura polymerization of the same AB2 monomers using a traditional catalyst afforded hyperbranched polymers with a branching degree of only ~56%. This is a nice example of controlling the topology of hyperbranched polymers via the catalyst.
