چکیده

We present a lattice model for helicity induction on an optically inactive polymer due to the adsorption of exogenous chiral amine molecules. The system is mapped onto a one-dimensional Ising model characterized by an on-site polymer helicity variable and an amine occupancy one. The equilibrium properties are analyzed in the limits of strong coupling between helicity induction and amine adsorption and in that of noninteracting adsorbant molecules. We discuss our results in the context of recent experimental results.

Chiral selection on inorganic crystalline surfaces.

From synthetic drugs to biodegradable plastics to the origin of life, the chiral selection of molecules presents both daunting challenges and significant opportunities in materials science. Among the most promising, yet little explored, avenues for chiral molecular discrimination is adsorption on chiral crystalline surfaces - periodic environments that can select, concentrate and possibly even ...

Exact helical polymer synthesis by a two-point-covalent-linking protocol between C2-chiral spirobifluorene and C2- or C(s)-symmetric anthraquinone monomers.

Two types of one-handed exact helical polymers, coil- and screw-shaped polymers, were synthesized by the two-point-covalent-linking protocol using C2-chiral spirobifluorene (SBF) and C2- or C(s)-symmetric anthraquinone spacers. Central to this protocol is a new aromatic ring-forming reaction based on the stepwise reductive cyclization of bis(aryloxy group)-substituted anthraquinone derivatives....

Helical Polyacetylenes Induced via Noncovalent Chiral Interactions and Their Applications as Chiral Materials

Construction of predominantly one-handed helical polyacetylenes with a desired helix sense utilizing noncovalent chiral interactions with nonracemic chiral guest compounds based on a supramolecular approach is described. As with the conventional dynamic helical polymers possessing optically active pendant groups covalently bonded to the polymer chains, this noncovalent helicity induction system...

The initial steps in the hydration of unsolvated peptides: water molecule adsorption on alanine-based helices and globules.

Equilibrium constants for the adsorption of the first water molecule onto a variety of unsolvated alanine-based peptides have been measured and Delta H degrees and DeltaS degrees have been determined. The studies were designed to examine the effects of conformation, charge, and composition on the propensity for peptides to bind water. In general, water adsorption occurs significantly more readi...

A strategy for tuning achiral main-chain polymers into helical assemblies and chiral memory systems.

A general strategy to tune the achiral main chain polymers into helical nanoassemblies was proposed based on the co-gelation approach. As an example, two achiral main chain polymers, PCz8 and PSi8, were selected, and their co-assembly with an amphiphilic l- or d-glutamide gelator was investigated. Although the polymers could not form gels individually, they could form co-gels with the gelator a...
