چکیده

Supramolecular chirality, being an intelligent combination of supramolecular chemistry and chiral science, plays a decisive role in the functioning of various natural assemblies and has attracted much attention from the scientific community, due to different applications in modern technologies, medicine, pharmacology, catalysis and biomimetic research. Porphyrin molecules are of particular interest to study this phenomenon owing to their unique spectral, physico-chemical and synthetic properties. This review highlights the most important types of chiral porphyrin structures by using the best-suited representative examples, which are frequently used in the area of supramolecular chirality.

Ionic liquid induced spontaneous symmetry breaking: emergence of predominant handedness during the self-assembly of tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS) with achiral ionic liquid.

The self-assembly and supramolecular chirality of a dianionic tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TPPS) in the presence of ionic liquids, 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (alkyl = C(2), C(4) or C(6), abbreviated as C(2)mimBF(4), C(4)mimBF(4) and C(6)mimBF(4), respectively), have been investigated. It has been confirmed that mimBF(4) ionic liquids significantly promoted the J-agg...

Interfacial assembly of cinnamoyl-terminated bolaamphiphiles through the air/water interface: headgroup-dependent assembly, supramolecular nanotube and photochemical sewing.

A series of cinnamoyl-terminated bolaamphiphiles were synthesized and their assemblies at the air/water interface were investigated. It was found that the assembly behaviour depended on the substituted groups on the cinnamoyl unit. The bolaamphiphile with 4-hydroxycinnamoyl head groups (HCDA) was found to assemble into a supramolecular nanotube, while the others formed only layer-structured fil...

Supramolecular chirality transfer to large random aggregates of porphyrins.

Chirality is rapidly induced in a fractal aggregate of the porphyrin t-CuPagg by addition of α-helical poly-glutamate. These results demonstrate a facile transfer of chirality via noncovalent interactions to preformed supramolecular assemblies grown in the absence of a chiral template.
