Chiral Recognition of L- and D- Amino Acid by Porphyrin Supramolecular Aggregates
摘要： We report of the interactions between four amino acids lysine (Lys), arginine (Arg), histidine (His), and phenylalanine (Phe) with the J-aggregates of the protonated 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrin H4TPPS. Several aspects of these self-assembled systems have been analyzed: (i) the chiral transfer process; (ii) the hierarchical effects leading to the aggregates formation; and, (iii) the influence of the amino acid concentrations on both transferring and storing chiral information. We have demonstrated that the efficient control on the J-aggregates chirality is obtained when all amino acids are tested and that the chirality transfer process is under hierarchical control. Finally, the chiral porphyrin aggregates obtained exhibit strong chiral inertia.

Control on Dimensions and Supramolecular Chirality of Self-Assemblies through Light and Metal Ions
摘要： Precise control over helical chirality and dimensions of molecular self-assemblies, a remaining challenge for both chemists and materials scientists, is the key to manipulate the property and performance of supramolecular materials. Herein, we report that a cholesterol-azopyridine conjugate could self-assemble into organogels with photo-controllable dimensional transition from 2D microbelts to 1D nanotubes and finally to 0D nanoparticles. The E/Z-Photoisomerization of the 4-azopyridine unit is the major driving force for the dimensional transformation. Furthermore, the self-assembled structures were observed to exhibit metal ion-mediated helicity inversion through the metal coordination. These observations were collectively confirmed by several techniques including scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscope, circular dichroism, and X-ray crystallography. The rational design of building blocks for the construction of dimension and chirality controllable self-assembly systems may lead to versatile applications in smart display, advanced optoelectronic device, and supramolecular asymmetric catalysis.

Out of plane stacking of InSe-based heterostructures towards high performance electronic and optoelectronic devices using a graphene electrode
摘要： Supramolecular chirality has attracted significant attention because of its critical roles in the life and material sciences. In this study, a natural triterpenoid-tailored amphiphilic molecule C4-MOP was designed and synthesized, in which the pyridinium head group was modified on the skeleton of triterpenoid through an alkyl linker. The introduction of pyridinium not only offers a hydrophilic cation to promote the assembly process but also renders itself as the nucleation point to adsorb silica precursors. The results showed that by adjusting the solvent compositions and the concentration of C4-MOP, well-ordered helical nanoribbons with both right- and left-handedness were fabricated by the assembly of C4-MOP, where the hydrophilic pyridinium cations were helically displayed on the surface of ribbons. Subsequently, by taking advantage of electrostatic interactions between pyridinium and the silica precursor, the supramolecular chirality of C4-MOP was successfully imprinted onto the silica nanostructures using the gel–sol mineralization process. Our work provides a simple yet useful strategy to prepare chiral silica, which could promote the applications of chiral natural products in material science.

Cooperative Chirality and Sequential Energy Transfer in Supramolecular Light-harvesting Nanotube
摘要： By constructing a supramolecular light-harvesting chiral nanotube in aqueous phase, we demonstrated the cooperative energy and chirality transfer that revealed some new aspects. It was found that a cyanostilbene-appended glutamate compound (CG) self-assembled into helical nanotubes exhibiting both supramolecular chirality and circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). When two achiral acceptors ThT and AO with different energy bands were co-assembled with the nanotube, the CG nanotube could transfer its chirality to both of the acceptors. The excitation energy could be transferred to ThT but only be sequentially transferred to AO. During such process, the CPL ascribed to the acceptor could be sequentially amplified. This work provides a new insight into the understanding the cooperative chirality and energy transfer in a chiral supramolecular system, which is more similar to the natural light-harvesting antennas.
