Abstract
The chirooptical properties of a number of compounds in a variety of achiral solvents are studied. The results are interpreted within the framework of the standard model of chiral molecules. It is demonstrated that, with increasing concentration, chiral aggregates emerge, up to the formation of a macrophase (strings), which radically changes the chirooptical characteristics of the solution.
