使用电子吸收光和圆二色(circulardichroism,CD)光谱研究了手性氨基酸卟啉锌配合物(Thr---TPPZN)聚集体与DNA之间的相互作用,这种螺旋结构的手性卟啉聚集体能与DNA结合,L－Thr----TPPZN聚集体与DNA作用量是通过氨基酸残基与DNA的磷酸链形成氢键,结合模式为外部结合,而D----Thr--TPPZN聚集体与DNA作用除了存在以上这种氢键作用之外,卟啉单元还能部分地插入DNA中,与DNA的碱基对形成π-π堆积作用。L--Thr---TPPZN和D--Thr--TPPZn聚集体与DNA结合模式不同是由于L-------Thr----TPPZn聚集体的左手螺旋结构与DNA的右手螺旋结构不匹配,而右手螺旋结构的D--Thr-----TPPZN聚集体能嵌入同样是右手螺旋结构的DNA中。

Influence of helical twisting power on the photoswitching behavior of chiral azobenzene compounds: applications to high-performance switching devices

Five photochromic chiral azobenzene compounds and one nonphotochromic chiral compound were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Cholesteric liquid crystalline phases were induced by mixing of the nonphotochromic chiral compound and one of the photochromic chiral azobenzene compounds in a host nematic liquid crystal (E44). The helical pitch of the induced cholesteric phase was determined by Cano's wedge method and the helical twisting power (HTP) of each sample was thus determined. The helical twisting powers of azobenzene compounds were decreased upon UV irradiation, due to trans-->cis photoisomerization of azobenzene molecules. Among the azobenzene compounds synthesized in our study, Azo-5, with isomannide (radical) as chiral photochromic dopant, showed the highest HTP and contrast ratio (Tmax/Tmin). Photoswitching between compensated nematic phase and cholesteric phase was achieved through reversible trans<-->cis photoisomerization of the chiral azobenzene molecules through irradiation with UV and visible light, respectively. Transmission rates (contrast ratios) increased with decreasing helical pitch length in the induced cholesteric phase. The influence of helical twisting power on the photoswitching behavior of chiral azobenzene compounds is discussed in detail.     

Chiral selectivity of guanosine media in capillary electrophoresis

Gels formed by self-association of monomeric guanosine compounds join numerous other agents such as cyclodextrins, crown ethers, chiral surfactants, antibiotics, proteins, and polysaccharides for chiral separations. Guanosine gels (G-gels) are self-assembled networks of hydrogen-bonded tetrads formed by guanosine nucleotides and their derivatives. The tetrads stack upon themselves to form columnar, helical aggregates that are stabilized by π-π interactions and centrally located cations. Previous work showed the effectiveness of G-gels formed by guanosine-5'-monophophate for separation of the enantiomers of the cationic drug propranolol using capillary electrophoresis. Subsequently, it was found that not all chiral compounds could be resolved into their enantiomers, leading us to investigate in this work the structural features that appear to be correlated to enantiomerically selective interactions of chiral compounds with G-gels. For those compounds (anionic 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diyl hydrogen phosphate and zwitterionic tryptophan) for which enantiomeric resolution was achieved, the effects of experimental conditions and G-gel composition were examined. For other compounds with no net charge (hydrobenzoin and zwitterionic amino acids and derivatives), the migration times were used as an indicator of the extent of interaction with the G-gel run buffer. It was found that the extent of interaction alone does not determine the chiral selectivity of the G-gel, indicating that the mechanism of chiral separation involves particular structural characteristics of the chiral compounds.     

Synthesis of chiral azobenzene-based compounds for use in the photochemical tuning of the helical structure of liquid crystals

We have synthesized azobenzene-based molecules containing either one or two chiral groups. A cholesteric phase can be induced by adding the chiral azobenzene compounds to a host nematic liquid crystal. We investigated the effects of the trans - cis photoisomerization of the chiral azobenzene compounds on the properties of the cholesteric phase, such as the helical pitch length. This can be increased or decreased by the photoisomerization of the chiral azobenzene compounds. We discuss the photochemically driven change in the helical pitch of the cholesteric phase with respect to structural effects involving the chiral groups.

Chiral Separation of Organic Phosphonate Compounds on Polysaccharide-Based Chiral Stationary Phases

Four polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases have been used to separate the enantiomers of fourteen O,O-dialkyl-1-benzyloxycarbonyl-aminoarylmethyl phosphonates. These polysaccharide-based chiral stationary phases are Chiralpak AD, Chiralpak AS, Chiralcel OG and Chiralcel OJ. The data obtained indicate that the chiral separation ability for these organophosphonate compounds are in the order Chiralpak AD > Chiralcel OG > Chiralcel OJ > Chiralpak AS. With Chiralpak AD, all of the studied compounds could be easily baseline separated. Those two polysaccharides possess different chiral discrimination mechanism due to of the difference of the conformational structures of amylose and cellulose. The chiral discrimination of derivatized amylose chiral stationary phases were based on the stereogenic fit of the analytes in the helical structures of amylose and the transient diastereomeric complex formation between the analyte and the amylose CSP through π–π interaction H-bond interactions and induced dipole interactions exerted by the substituents on the analyte molecules. The chiral discrimination, in case of derivatized cellulose chiral stationary phase is based on the stereogenic fit of the analytes in the grooves of cellulose followed by interactions mentioned above between the analytes and the cellulose CSP.     

A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Stereodynamics of Monoaza[5]helicenes: Solvent‐Induced Increase of the Enantiomerization Barrier in 1‐Aza‐[5]helicene

Helicenes and heterohelicenes are attractive compounds with great potential in materials sciences to be used in optoelectronics as ligand backbones in enantioselective catalysis and as chiral sensors. The properties of these materials are related to the stereodynamics of these helical chiral compounds. However, little is known about features controlling stereodynamics in helicenes; in particular, for heterohelicenes the position of the heteroatom could be relevant in this respect. Herein the complete stereodynamic characterization of monoaza[5]helicenes is shown by enantioselective dynamic HPLC and DFT calculations. At variance with previous theoretical calculations, 1‐aza[5]helicene shows a surprisingly high enantiomerization barrier, which is triggered by specific solvent interactions.     

Optical behaviour of photoimageable cholesteric liquid crystal cells with various novel chiral compounds

In theory, both polarity and steric hindrance are basic factors which affect molecular interactions. To investigate the optical properties and steric structures of chiral compounds having different chiral moieties which affect the wavelength of light reflection in liquid crystal (LC) cells, a series of novel chiral compounds and azobenzene derivatives were synthesized. The liquid crystalline phases of the compounds were identified using small angle X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and polarizing optical microscopy. Cholesteric LC cells with various synthesized chiral dopants which selectively reflect visible light were first prepared, the photochemical switching behaviour of colours was then investigated, with special reference to the change in transmittance in cholesteric LC cells containing an azobenzene derivative as a photoisomerizable guest molecule. Reversible isomerization of azobenzene molecules occurred in the cholesteric systems, resulting in a depression of T _ChI and a shift of the selectively reflected wavelength. We discuss the photochemically driven change in the helical pitch of the cholesteric LCs with respect to structural effects involving the chiral moieties. Molecular interactions caused by the added dopants, reliability and stability of the photoisomerization, and UV irradiation effects on the cholesteric LC cells were also investigated. A real image was recorded through a mask on a cholesteric LC cell fabricated in this investigation.

Chiral polymers for resolution of enantiomers

In 1979, the formation of one‐handed helical poly(triphenylmethyl methacrylate) (PTrMA) was found through the helix‐sense‐selective polymerization of methacrylate using chiral anionic initiators, and the existence of a stable helical polymer without chiral side chains was proved. The chiral polymer exhibited unexpected high chiral recognition of various racemic compounds when used as the chiral packing material (CPM) for HPLC, which was commercialized in 1982 as the first chiral column based on an optically active polymer. This success encouraged us to develop further useful commercial chiral packing materials (CPMs) based on polysaccharides, cellulose, and amylose. By using these polysaccharide‐based CPMs, particularly phenylcarbamate derivatives, nearly 90% of chiral compounds can be resolved not only analytically but also preparatively, and several chiral drugs have been produced using the CPMs. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dynamic Axial-to-Helical Communication Mechanism in Poly[(allenylethynylenephenylene)acetylene]s under External Stimuli

Helix inversion in chiral dynamic helical polymers is usually achieved by conformational changes at the pendant groups induced through external stimuli. Herein, a different mechanism of helix inversion in poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is presented, based on the activation/deactivation of supramolecular interactions. We prepared poly[(allenylethynylenephenylene)acetylene]s (PAEPAs) in which the pendant groups are conformationally locked chiral allenes. Therefore, their substituents are placed in specific spatial orientations. As a result, the screw sense of a PAEPA is fixed by the allenyl substituent with the optimal size/distance relationship to the backbone. This helical sense command can be surpassed by supramolecular interactions between another substituent on the allene and appropriate external stimuli, such as amines. So, a helix inversion occurs through a novel axial-to-helical communication mechanism, opening a new scenario for taming the helices of chiral dynamic helical polymers.
