The interplay of two subsequent aggregation processes results in a symmetry‐breaking phenomenon in an achiral self‐assembling system. Partiallyfluorinated benzene‐1,3,5‐tricarboxamide molecules self‐assemble into a racemic mixture of one‐dimensional P‐ and M‐helical aggregates, followed by bundling into optically active higher‐order aggregates or fibers (see picture).
