Effect of Solvent and Molecular Structure on the Enhanced Fluorescence and Supramolecular Chirality of Schiff Bases in Organogels

The structures and properties of some Schiff base compounds doped in organogels were investigated. It was found that although individual Schiff bases could not form organogels with organic solvents, they can gel by mixing with an organogelator, N,N′-bisoctadecyl-L-Boc-glutamic-diamide, which formed transparent organogels in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or toluene (Tol). The enhancement of doping Schiff bases fluorescence in the organogel was observed in comparison with that of the corresponding solution. Furthermore, in the DMSO organogel, the induced chirality was obtained from the doping Schiff base with long alkyl chain. In contrast, the Schiff bases without long alkyl chain could not form supramolecular chiral assemblies in organogel. It was suggested that through gel formation the chirality of the gelator could be transferred to the Schiff base through hydrophobic interaction among the long alkyl chains.

Realizing Abundant Chirality Inversion of Supramolecular Nanohelices by Multiply Manipulating the Binding Sites in Molecular Blocks

The induction of diverse chirality regulation in nature by multiple binding sites of biomolecules is ubiquitous and plays an essential role in determining the biofunction of biosystems. However, mimicking this biological phenomenon and understanding at a molecular level its mechanism with the multiple binding sites by establishing an artificial system still remains a challenge. Herein, abundant chirality inversion is achieved by precisely and multiply manipulating the co-assembled binding sites of phenylalanine derivatives (D/LPPF) with different naphthalene derivatives (NA, NC, NP, NF). The amide and hydroxy group of naphthalene derivatives prefer to bind with the carboxy group of LPPF, while carboxylic groups and fluoride atoms tend to bind with the amide moiety of LPPF. All these diverse interaction modes can precisely trigger helicity inversion of LPPF nanofibers. In addition, synergistically manipulating the carboxy and amide binding sites from a single LPPF molecule to simultaneously interact with different naphthalene derivatives leads to chirality regulation. Typically, varying the solvent may switch the interaction modes and the switched new interaction modes can be employed to further regulate the chirality of the LPPF nanofibers. This study may provide a novel approach to explore chirality diversity in artificial systems by regulating the intermolecular binding sites.

Construction of Supramolecular Chirality in Polymer Systems:Chiral Induction,Transfer and Application

Chirality, commonly found in organisms, biomolecules and nature such as L-amino acids and D-sugars, has been extensively studied in chemistry and biomedical science. Hence, the demand for simple and efficient construction of chiral structures, especially chiral polymers, has been rapidly growing due to their potential applications in chemosensors, asymmetric catalysis and biological materials. However, most chiral polymers reported are prepared directly from chiral monomers/chiral catalysts, the...     

Autoamplification of Molecular Chirality through the Induction of Supramolecular Chirality

The novel concept for the autoamplification of molecular chirality, wherein the amplification proceeds through the induction of supramolecular chirality, is presented. A solution of prochiral, ring‐open diarylethenes is doped with a small amount of their chiral, ring‐closed counterpart. The molecules co‐assemble into helical fibers through hydrogen bonding and the handedness of the fibers is biased by the chiral, ring‐closed diarylethene. Photochemical ring closure of the open diarylethene yields the ring‐closed product, which is enriched in the template enantiomer.     

The Cooperative Effect of Both Molecular and Supramolecular Chirality on Cell Adhesion

Although helical nanofibrous structures have great influence on cell adhesion, the role played by chiral molecules in these structures on cells behavior has usually been ignored. The chirality of helical nanofibers is inverted by the odd–even effect of methylene units from homochiral l ‐phenylalanine derivative during assembly. An increase in cell adhesion on left‐handed nanofibers and weak influence of cell behaviors on right‐handed nanofibers are observed, even though both were derived from l ‐phenylalanine derivatives. Weak and negative influences on cell behavior was also observed for left‐ and right‐handed nanofibers derived from d ‐phenylalanine, respectively. The effect on cell adhesion of single chiral molecules and helical nanofibers may be mutually offset.     

Direct Evidence for the Effect of Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding on Organogels

In order to get direct evidence for the effect of intermolecular hydrogen bonding on the organogels, one arnide group in N-（3, 4, 5-octyloxybenzoyl）-N＇-（4＇-aminobenzoyl）hydrazine（D8） was replaced by a Schiff base group, forming N-（3,4,5-octyloxybenzoyl）-N＇-（4＇-amidobenzoyl） acylhydrazone（T8SchA）. D8 and T8SchA organogels in cyclohexane show the same hexagonal columnar structure. And the hydrogen bonding was demonstrated to be still interacting in the organogels. However, although the molecular geometry of D8 was well retained in T8SchA, the molecular dipole moment of T8SchA is bigger than that of D8 due to the reduction of the number of hydrogen bonds. Thus, the decreased gelling stability of T8SchA compared to that of D8 can only be attributed to the reduction of the number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which provides direct evidence that intermolecular hydrogen bonding plays an important role in stabilising organogels.
