Chiral/ring closed vs. achiral/open chain triazine-based organogelators: induction and amplification of supramolecular chirality in organic gels.
The purpose of this study is to compare the gelling behavior of two molecules: a chiral compound and its achiral counterpart. The chiral partner is characterized by a rigid, chiral pyrrolidine nucleus, while the achiral one contains a flexible diethanolamine moiety. The chiral compound is an already known good organogelator, but also the achiral compound shows remarkable gelling properties. Ver...
متن کاملLight-induced unfolding and refolding of supramolecular polymer nanofibres
Unlike classical covalent polymers, one-dimensionally (1D) elongated supramolecular polymers (SPs) can be encoded with high degrees of internal order by the cooperative aggregation of molecular subunits, which endows these SPs with extraordinary properties and functions. However, this internal order has not yet been exploited to generate and dynamically control well-defined higher-order (second...
متن کاملIterated Moiré maps and braiding of chiral polymer crystals.
In the hexagonal columnar phase of chiral polymers a bias towards cholesteric twist competes with braiding along an average direction. When the chirality is strong, screw dislocations proliferate, leading to either a tilt grain boundary phase or a new “moiré state” with twisted bond order. Polymer trajectories in the plane perpendicular to their average direction are described by iterated moiré...
متن کاملMirror symmetry breaking and chiral amplification in foldamer-based supramolecular helical aggregates.
Spontaneous asymmetric generation of supramolecular chiral fibers was observed in the folding induced self-assembly of a lock-washer shaped foldamer. A secondary nucleation growth mechanism is proposed to explain the observed chiral amplification or deracemization of these supramolecular fibers.
متن کاملMirror symmetry breaking and chiral amplification in foldamer-based supramolecular helical aggregatesw
There are numerous examples of achiral or dynamically racemic molecules that generate chirality in one-, two-, or threedimensional crystals, polymers, liquid crystal or supramolecular assemblies. Such systems are particularly attractive for investigating asymmetric induction (i.e. mirror symmetry breaking) and chiral amplification. These conglomerate forming systems typically yield a stochastic...
