Since Lehn et al discovered the supramolecule the field of supramolecular chemistry has attracted the interest of scientists and is the subject of intensive work in fundamental and applied research. Of the many interesting supramolecules that have been developed, those based on helical structures retaining a unique place in supramolecule chemistry have attracted the most attention. Probes based on helical supramolecules are of special interest because of the particularly suitable self-assembly process and molecular recognition behavior. An overview of the helical supramolecules is presented, detailing its structure and derivatives, along with a description of the ways of controlling the helical structures and a description of the process of self-assembly.
