Networked Multicomponent Ensemble as AND Gate with FRET Output.

Chemistry

December 2024

Center of Micro- and Nanochemistry and (Bio)Technology, Organische Chemie I, School of Science and Engineering, University of Siegen, Adolf-Reichwein-Str. 2, D-57068, Siegen, Germany.

A networked supramolecular logic AND gate system is accomplished using precise chemical communication within a multicomponent ensemble via metal ion-driven self-sorting processes. The cybernetic AND gate is composed of a copper(I)-loaded nanoswitch, an aza-crown ether and a rhodamine receptor. The modus operandi of the AND gate, from state (0,0), was induced with stoichiometric amounts of two inputs (IN-1=Hg, IN-2=Li) generating copper(I) ions as output only in state (1,1).

Swiss roll nanoarrays for chiral plasmonic photocatalysis.

J Colloid Interface Sci

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, Changchun 130012, PR China. Electronic address:

Manipulating the chirality at nanoscale has drawn great attention among scientists, considering its pivotal role in various applications of current interest, including nano-optics, biomedicine, and photocatalysis. In this work, we delve into this arena by fabricating chiral Swiss roll nanoarray (SRNA) continuous films employing colloidal lithography. The technique permits the dimension of Swiss roll metamaterials to reduce to nanoscale, thus achieving chiroptical response (circular dichroism (CD)) in the visible region.

Reversible Restrain and Release of the Dynamic Valence Isomerization in a Shape-shifting Bullvalene by Complex Formation.

Chemistry

April 2024

Department of Chemistry-Biology, and Center of Micro-and Nanochemistry and (Bio)Technology (Cμ), University of Siegen, Adolf-Reichwein-Str. 2, 57068, Siegen, Germany.

In search for structural features that enable the control of the valence isomerization of the fluxional bullvalene, a bullvalene-bis(harmane) conjugate is identified that acts as chelating ligand in complexes with metal ions. Spectrometric titrations show that this ligand forms 1 : 1 complexes with Ag, Cu, Cu, and Zn. Most importantly, detailed NMR-spectroscopic analysis at different temperatures reveals that the complexation with Ag strongly affects the dynamic isomerization of the bullvalene unit of the ligand such that only one predominant valence isomer is formed, even at 5 °C.
