Characterization of Chiral Carbonaceous Nanotubes Prepared from Four Coiled Tubular 4,4′-biphenylene-silica Nanoribbons

چکیده
Four dipeptides derived from phenylalanine were synthesized, which can self-assemble into twisted nanoribbon in deionized water. The handedness of the organic self-assemblies was controlled by the chirality of the phenylalanine at the terminals. Coiled 4,4′-biphenylene bridged polybissilsesquioxane tubular nanoribbons were prepared using the organic self-assemblies as the templates. The circular dichroism spectra indicated that the biphenylene rings preferred to twist in one-handedness within the walls of the samples. After carbonization and removal of silica, single-handed coiled carbonaceous tubular nanoribbons were obtained. The Raman spectra indicated that the carbon was amorphous. The diffuse reflectance circular dichroism spectra indicated the tubular carbonaceous nanoribbons exhibited optical activity.

Hybrid silica nanotubes with chiral walls.
Hybrid silica nanotubes with chiral aromatic rings in the walls were prepared using self-assemblies of a low molecular weight amphiphile as a template; transmission electron microscopy images of the nanotubes at different formation steps showed that the co-structure-directing agent plays an important role in this chiral transfer.

Graphene oxide (GOs) has emerged in recent years as a versatile nanomaterial, demonstrating tremendous potential for multifunctional biomedical applications. GOs can be prepared by the top-down or bottom-up approach, which leads to a great variability of GOs being produced due to the different procedures and starting carbon sources adopted. This will have an effect on the physiochemical propert...
