The sergeants-and-soldiers effect: chiral amplification in naphthalenediimide nanotubes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-assembling naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based helical organic nanotubes display sergeants-and-soldiers behaviour, chiral monomers imposing a supramolecular structure upon achiral monomers. Several achiral NDI monomers were synthesised and their ability to incorporate into supramolecular nanotubes was studied. Nanotubes containing predominantly the most effective soldier, derived from 1-aminocyclopropane-carboxylic acid, are effective hosts for C(60).

Complex Chiral Induction Processes at the Solution/Solid Interface
Two-dimensional supramolecular chirality is often achieved by confining molecules against a solid surface. The sergeants-soldiers principle is a popular strategy to fabricate chiral surfaces using predominantly achiral molecules. In this method, achiral molecules (the soldiers) are forced to assemble in a chiral fashion by mixing them with a small percentage of structurally similar chiral molec...
متن کاملAmplification of chirality in benzene tricarboxamide helical supramolecular polymers.
The chirality of benzene tricarboxamides is expressed and amplified into the helicity of self-assembled columnar aggregates according to 'sergeants and soldiers' and 'majority rules' principles; the strength of the amplification is analysed quantitatively and the effect of the number of chiral groups in the sergeants is studied.
متن کاملDynamic propeller conformation for the unprecedentedly high degree of chiral amplification of supramolecular helices.
An unprecedentedly high degree of chiral amplification of supramolecular helices in a sergeants and soldiers system was realized using a propeller-shaped molecule, triphenylamine (TPA), as the monomer. One sergeant controlled the handedness of 500 soldiers in supramolecular helices. We further demonstrated that a TPA derivative could switch its role from sergeant to soldier and vice versa depen...
متن کاملAmplification of chirality in helical supramolecular polymers beyond the long-chain limit.
The optical activity of helical homopolymers devoid of chiral centers increases drastically when a small amount of homochiral monomers is incorporated into them. We study this so-called sergeants-and-soldiers effect of chirality amplification in solutions of helical supramolecular polymers with a theoretical model that bears a strong resemblance to a one-dimensional, two-component Ising model. ...
متن کاملManifesting the sergeants-and-soldiers principle in coadsorber induced homochiral polymorphic assemblies at the liquid/solid interface.
We systematically studied the operation of coadsorber-induced surface chirality in a series of enantiomeric surface supramolecular assemblies. The correlation of chiral amplification degree with the proportion of enantiomeric interaction in the total intermolecular interaction is deduced.
