Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Spectroscopic and morphologic characteristics of an racemic chromene cationic amphiphile 1+ having a chiral camphor sulfonate counter anion ((+) or (−) CS∗−) were studied in aggregates in aqueous ethanol solutions. The media-dependent photochromism of 1+/CS∗− and the enantio-preferential selective ring-closing process after UV irradiation were observed owing to the propagation of the chirality from the counter anion CS∗−.</jats:p>
