Extremely effective cooperative effects operate during the formation of chiral stacks of C 3 ‐symmetrical molecules in alkane solvents (a molecule is depicted on the right). The sergeants‐and‐soldiers principles as well as chiral solvation lead to a preferred helical sense in the columnar aggregates. The amplification of chirality in dynamic systems shows the precision in aggregation.
