Water tuned the helical nanostructures and supramolecular chirality in organogels

Abstract: Water was found to tune the self-assembled nanostructures of a cationic amphiphile in organic solvents from nanofibers to helical tapes, helical tubes and chiral nanotwists with various pitch lengths depending on water content. Inversion of CD spectra was observed in the water-triggered polar and non-polar solvent gels.

“…117 This method can be used to construct various chiral or helical 1D nanostructures of ionic PDI amphiphiles. Nevertheless, precise control of helical selfassembly of PDIs remains very challenging, both in solution and on surfaces, as well as at interfaces.…”

“…Also Prasad and coworkers have reported the formation of giant vesicles, sheets and columnar phases of a naphthalene containing dendron depending of the solvent . More recently, benzoyl hydrazide organogels have also shown a strong impact of the solvent on the morphology of the organogel and water content has been shown to tune the helicity of organogels from a cationic amphiphile .…”

“…Complexes 2 – 4 showed weak positive signals at around 300 nm in chloroform at room temperature. According to previous reports in the literature, the absorption band at about 300 nm was tentatively assigned to result from the change from the molecular chirality of l ‐glutamic‐acid derived alkynylplatinum(II) complex to supramolecular chirality. The CD signals were distinctly enhanced and an additional signal at about 420 nm appeared in the spectrum of complex 4 upon the addition of n ‐hexane which would enhance aggregation and is in line with the results obtained from the UV/Vis absorption and emission experiments.…”
