AI Article Synopsis
- Integrating anthracene structures into oligoamide sequences creates photoactive molecules known as foldamers that can capture a thread, forming a helical structure.
- When exposed to light, these helix-on-axle assemblies change shape, causing the thread to be released and producing a measurable light output.
- The original assembly can be restored through a heating process, demonstrating a reversible action in response to light and temperature changes.
Article Abstract
Integrating multiple anthracene motifs into aromatic oligoamide sequences gives rise to photoactive foldamers that can sequester a molecular thread forming helix-on-axle assemblies. Photoirradiation is shown to distort the helical host and drive dissociation of the supramolecular assembly and thread liberation as signalled by a photonic output, while thermal reversion regenerates the assembly.
