AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on coordination polymers made from silver (Ag) and a chiral thiol ligand with a specific β-turn structure.
- These polymers demonstrate supramolecular chirality, meaning they have a unique handedness or orientation on a larger scale.
- The researchers observed two effects in the system: the majority rules effect (MRE) and the racemate rules effect (RRE), which influence how these chiral structures form and behave.
Article Abstract
We report coordination polymers forming from Ag and a chiral thiol ligand that bears a β-turn structure, exhibiting supramolecular chirality showing both the majority rules effect (MRE) and the racemate rules effect (RRE).

Herein, we report the precise control of molecular to supramolecular chirality induction at the single-molecule level just upon subtle modification in an achiral 'nano-size' trizinc(II) porphyrin trimer. A slight variation in the projection of the substituent at the periphery of the central porphyrin unit in a porphyrin trimer (host) resulted in pronounced changes in the interchromophoric arrangement, leading to distinct 'open' and 'closed' conformations. While 'open' form generates 'monomeric' complex with low CD amplitude, 'closed' form produces exclusive 'polymer' with large, amplified CD signal with opposite sign due to stronger intermolecular excitonic coupling.

Crown ethers (CEs), macrocyclic polyethers, have attracted significant attention in supramolecular chemistry. It is known that they have many isomers due to their flexibility. It is challenging to select some exact conformation and tune the following self-assembly structure of CEs, and it has rarely been reported to date.

Studying the self-assembly of chiral molecules in two dimensions offers insights into the fundamentals of crystallization. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, we examine an uncommon aggregation of polyaromatic chiral molecules on a silver surface. Dense packing is achieved through a chiral triangular tiling of triads, with N and N ± 1 molecules at the edges.

Cast films of racemic helicene derivatives adsorbed onto the surface of nanometric silica helices with controlled handedness exhibited distinct CD signals, whereas no CD signal was observed in the absence of silica nanohelices. These CD signals originate from the helical supramolecular assemblies formed by the racemic mixture of helicenes, with no evidence of enantiospecific adsorption. Interestingly, when enantiomerically pure forms of these helicenes were drop-cast onto the silica helices, different CD spectra were observed depending on the combination of the helicenes' handedness with that of the silica nanohelices.

Metal-organic gels (MOGs) are a type of supramolecular complex that have become highly intriguing due to their synergistic combination of inorganic and organic elements. We report the synthesis and characterization of a Ni-directed supramolecular gel using chiral amino acid L-DOPA (3,4-dihydroxy phenylalanine) containing ligand, which coordinates with Ni(II) to form metal-organic gels with exceptional properties. The functional Ni(II)-gel was synthesized by heating nickel(II) acetate hexahydrate and the L-DOPA containing ligand in DMSO at 70 °C.
