One of the notable differences between biological and artificial systems is the important fact that biological materials consist mostly of chiral molecules. While most biochemical processes routinely discriminate chiral molecules, differentiation between chiral molecules in artificial systems is currently one of the challenging subjects in the field of molecular recognition. Therefore, one of the important challenges for intelligent man-made sensors is to prepare a sensing system that can discriminate chiral molecules.

The dynamic twisting abilities of solvent molecules are often ignored and unknown, although the targeted molecules and polymers in a fluid solution are surrounded by solvent molecules. We should pay more attention to the facts that mostly all of the chemical and physical properties of these molecules and polymers in the ground and photoexcited states are significantly influenced by the surrounding solvent molecules with much conformational freedom through non-covalent supramolecular interactions between these substances and solvent molecules. This review highlights a series of studies that include: (i) historical background, covering chiral NaClO3 crystallization in the presence of D-sugars in the late 19th century; (ii) early solvent chirality effects for optically inactive chromophores/fluorophores in the 1960s–1980s; and (iii) the recent development of mirror symmetry breaking from the corresponding achiral or optically inactive molecules and polymers with the help of molecular chirality as the solvent use quantity.

  • Chiral Solvation Induced Supramolecular Chiral Assembly of Achiral Polymers
    Chapter 4 Chiral Solvation Induced Supramolecular Chiral Assembly of Achiral Polymers Wei Zhang, Yin Zhao and Lu Yin Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/67700 Abstract To date, liquid crystal chirality, mechanophysical chirality, circularly polarized photon chirality, gelation and chiral solvation are all feasible candidates to generate optically active polymers and supramolecular chirality when employing achiral molecules as start‐ ing substances. Among this, chiral‐solvation‐induced chirality is one of the dominant methods for construction of chirality from achiral sources, such as achiral poly(n‐hexyl isocyanate) (PHIC), π‐conjugated polymers, oligo(p‐phenylenevinylene), polyacetylenes, σ‐conjugated polysilanes and side‐chain polymers. Supramolecular chirality is well established through their intra‐ or inter‐molecular noncovalent interactions, such as van der Waals, CH/π, dipole‐dipole interactions, hydrogen bonding and metal‐ligand coordi‐ nating interactions. Compared with the traditional methods, this strategy avoids the use of expensive chiral reagents and also expands the scope towards challenging substrates. This chapter highlights a series of studies that include: (i) the development‐historical background of chiral solvent induction strategy; (ii) the chiral‐solvation‐induced chirality in small molecules and oligomers; and (iii) recent developments in polymers, especially in π‐conjugated polymers and σ‐conjugated polymers. Keywords: optical activity, supramolecular chirality, chiral solvation, self‐assembly, circular dichroism, circularly polarized luminescence 1. Introduction As early as the second half of the nineteenth century, many scientists have long thought that the intrinsic biomolecular homochirality found in the living world is the origin of life on earth, since inherent optical activity exists inside all living organisms [1–14].

  • Chiral Recognition and Selection During the Self-Assembly Process of Protein-Mimic Macroanions
    ARTICLE Received 6 May 2014 | Accepted 2 Feb 2015 | Published 10 Mar 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms7475 Chiral recognition and selection during the self-assembly process of protein-mimic macroanions Panchao Yin1,2, Zhi-Ming Zhang3, Hongjin Lv4, Tao Li5, Fadi Haso1,2, Lang Hu1,2, Baofang Zhang1,2, John Bacsa4, Yongge Wei6, Yanqing Gao3, Yu Hou4, Yang-Guang Li3, Craig L. Hill4, En-Bo Wang3 & Tianbo Liu1,2 The research on chiral recognition and chiral selection is not only fundamental in resolving the puzzle of homochirality, but also instructive in chiral separation and stereoselective catalysis. Here we report the chiral recognition and chiral selection during the self-assembly process of two enantiomeric wheel-shaped macroanions, [Fe28(m3-O)8(Tart)16 20 À (HCOO)24] (Tart ¼ D-orL-tartaric acid tetra-anion). The enantiomers are observed to remain self-sorted and self-assemble into their individual assemblies in their racemic mixture solution. The addition of chiral co-anions can selectively suppress the self-assembly process of the enantiomeric macroanions, which is further used to separate the two enantiomers from their mixtures on the basis of the size difference between the monomers and the assemblies. We believe that delicate long-range electrostatic interactions could be responsible for such high-level chiral recognition and selection. 1 Department of Polymer Science, The University of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44325-3909, USA. 2 Department of Chemistry, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015, USA. 3 Key Laboratory of Polyoxometalate Science of Ministry of Education, Northeast Normal University, Changchun, Jilin 130024, China. 4 Department of Chemistry, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, 30322, USA.

  • Induction and Control of Supramolecular Chirality by Light in Self-Assembled Helical Nanostructures
    ARTICLE Received 7 Oct 2014 | Accepted 18 Mar 2015 | Published 23 Apr 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms7959 Induction and control of supramolecular chirality by light in self-assembled helical nanostructures Jisung Kim1, Jinhee Lee1, Woo Young Kim2, Hyungjun Kim1, Sanghwa Lee1, Hee Chul Lee3, Yoon Sup Lee1, Myungeun Seo4 & Sang Youl Kim1 Evolution of supramolecular chirality from self-assembly of achiral compounds and control over its handedness is closely related to the evolution of life and development of supramolecular materials with desired handedness. Here we report a system where the entire process of induction, control and locking of supramolecular chirality can be manipulated by light. Combination of triphenylamine and diacetylene moieties in the molecular structure allows photoinduced self-assembly of the molecule into helical aggregates in a chlorinated solvent by visible light and covalent fixation of the aggregate via photopolymerization by ultraviolet light, respectively. By using visible circularly polarized light, the supramolecular chirality of the resulting aggregates is selectively and reversibly controlled by its rotational direction, and the desired supramolecular chirality can be arrested by irradiation with ultraviolet circularly polarized light. This methodology opens a route to ward the formation of supramolecular chiral conducting nanostructures from the self-assembly of achiral molecules. 1 Department of Chemistry, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), 291 Daehak-ro, Yuseong-gu, Daejeon 305-701, Korea. 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, KAIST, Daejeon 305-701, Korea. 3 Department of Electronic Engineering, KAIST, Daejeon 305-701, Korea. 4 Graduate School of Nanoscience and Technology, KAIST, Daejeon 305-701, Korea.
