    19 Japan Academy Prize to: Takuzo Aida Deputy Director, RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science Professor, School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo for “Studies on Precision Hierarchical Design of Innovative Soft Materials” Outline of the work: Prof. Takuzo Aida is a world-leading scientist involved in the development of innovative soft materials. Prof. Aida has been intensely engaged in exploiting the interactions between materials sciences and other scientific disciplines such as physics and life science. While researchers’ focus in molecular science is now shifting from highly diluted and well-equilibrated molecular systems to more complex, non-equilibrated systems in highly condensed phases, Prof. Aida discovered extrusion polymerization of olefins in 1999 using catalyst-immobilized nanoscopic channels of mesoporous silica (ref. 32). When ethylene is allowed to polymerize, polymer chains that are produced in nanopores are not allowed to fold but extruded unidirectionally like spider silk. The chains then assemble together into extended-chain crystalline fibers having ultrahigh mechanical properties. In general, highly anisotropic hierarchical structural ordering can provide materials with extraordinary properties. However, this process is known to be interfered by kinetic traps that emerge in the transition from nano to mesoscopic size regimes. Based on the seminal discovery of extrusion polymerization, Prof. Aida noticed how multivalent interactions and physical perturbations are useful for avoiding kinetic traps that prevent hierarchical structural ordering in highly condensed systems and properly connect the missing link between nano and meso-scale phenomena. From then on, he has been promoting this immature research field and has accomplished numerous seminal achievements for creating innovative soft materials.

Seunghyun Sim – Proteins are monodisperse polymers that fold into a specific nanoscale structure. These state-of-art nanoscale machineries exert highly precise mechanical motions and process environmental inputs by the combination of allosteric effects. My research focuses on finding interdisciplinary solutions for designing a library of functional protein materials, mainly from the principles in supramolecular chemistry, molecular biology, and polymer science. In this symposium, I will discuss the design of protein-based macromolecular architectures in multiple dimensions, understanding their property for the therapeutic application, and in situ synthesis of extracellular protein network by living organisms for generating engineered living materials. Profile – Seunghyun Sim graduated from Seoul National University with B.S. degrees in Chemistry and Biological Sciences in 2012. She conducted her doctoral research with professor Takuzo Aida at the University of Tokyo and received her M.Eng. and Ph.D. in 2017. Her thesis work focused on engineering protein-based supramolecular nanostructures and functions. She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at California Institute of Technology in the lab of professor David Tirrell.

  • Elucidation of the Origin of Chiral Amplification in Discrete Molecular Polyhedra
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-02605-x OPEN Elucidation of the origin of chiral amplification in discrete molecular polyhedra Yu Wang 1, Hongxun Fang1, Ionut Tranca2, Hang Qu1, Xinchang Wang1, Albert J. Markvoort 2, Zhongqun Tian1 & Xiaoyu Cao1 Chiral amplification in molecular self-assembly has profound impact on the recognition and separation of chiroptical materials, biomolecules, and pharmaceuticals. An understanding of 1234567890():,; how to control this phenomenon is nonetheless restricted by the structural complexity in multicomponent self-assembling systems. Here, we create chiral octahedra incorporating a combination of chiral and achiral vertices and show that their discrete nature makes these octahedra an ideal platform for in-depth investigation of chiral transfer. Through the con- struction of dynamic combinatorial libraries, the unique possibility to separate and char- acterise each individual assembly type, density functional theory calculations, and a theoretical equilibrium model, we elucidate that a single chiral unit suffices to control all other units in an octahedron and how this local amplification combined with the distribution of distinct assembly types culminates in the observed overall chiral amplification in the system. Our combined experimental and theoretical strategy can be applied generally to quantify discrete multi-component self-assembling systems. 1 State Key Laboratory of Physical Chemistry of Solid Surfaces, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, iChEM and Key Laboratory of Chemical Biology of Fujian Province, Xiamen University, Xiamen, 361005, China. 2 Institute for Complex Molecular Systems and Computational Biology Group, Eindhoven University of Technology, PO Box 5135600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

    A08-2pm-04 The 101st CSJ Annual Meeting Highly Selective Heterochiral Supramolecular Polymerization of Thiophene-Fused Chiral [4n]Annulenes (1Grad. Sch. of Eng., The Univ. of Tokyo, 2Grad. Sch. of Sci., The Univ. of Tokyo, 3CEMS, RIKEN) ○Tsubasa Aoki,1 Michihisa Ueda,1 Takayuki Nakamuro,2 Eiichi Nakamura,2 Takuzo Aida,1,3 Yoshimitsu Itoh 1 Keywords: Chirality; Supramolecular Polymers; Heterochiral Sequence; [4n]Annulene In nature, the stereochemistry that we can find for amino acids is L-form. This is a typical example of “homochirality” in nature. On the other hand, in the crystallization of racemic mixtures, more than 90% are racemates (heterochiral), and less than 10% are conglomerates (homochiral). Interestingly, in the case of supramolecular polymers,1 where reversible non-covalent bonds connect the monomer units, it is known that they prefer a homochiral 1D arrangement due to the formation of helical assemblies.2 Here we report the first example of a highly selective heterochiral supramolecular polymer of thiophene-fused chiral [4n]annulene derivatives.3 Upon mixing the two optically resolved monomers, a white precipitate was observed. A microcrystal electron crystallography, combined with analytical HPLC, AFM, and various spectroscopic measurements suggested that the precipitate has a structure of 1D heterochiral supramolecular polymer. Interestingly, the origin of high stereoselectivity was attributable to strong antiparallel dipole interactions between the polarized conjugated planar moieties. This is a novel motif for driving supramolecular polymerization compared to conventional ones that prefer homochiral monomer sequences via hydrogen-bonding arrays. Besides, our previous studies have also shown that this monomer can be racemized upon photoirradiation by the emergence of Baird aromaticity.4 Based on this understanding, we succeeded in photopolymerization in a spatiotemporal manner.
