Chirality in Dynamic Supramolecular Nanotubes Induced by a Chiral Solvent

[en] Amplification of chirality has been reported in polymeric systems. It has also been shown that related effects can occur in polymer-like dynamic supramolecular aggregates, if a subtle balance between noncovalent interactions allows the coupling between a chiral information and a cooperative aggregation process. In this context, we report a strong majority-rules effect in the formation of chiral dynamic nanotubes from chiral bisurea monomers. Furthermore, similar helical nanotubes (with the same circular dichroism signature) can be obtained from racemic monomers in a chiral solvent. Competition experiments reveal the relative strength of the helical bias induced by the chiral monomer or by the chiral solvent. The nanotube handedness is imposed by the monomer chirality, whatever the solvent chirality. However, the chirality of the solvent has a significant effect on the degree of chiral induction.

These experiments were characterized by a strong time-dependence: approximately 10 h were needed before the CD effect was fully developed after mixing solutions of the enantiomers.

The observed majority-rule effect implies that the nanotubes are not made from a single enantiomer, but contain a mixture of enantiomers: the major enantiomer in a given nanotube imposes the helicity of this nanotube.

Because the UV absorption of limonene is higher than that of cyclohexane, the pathlength of the cell for CD measurement had to be reduced, and consequently, the bisurea concentration had to be increased in limonene (see the Supporting Information).

This value is the average between EHUT-RR and EHUT-SS data. The difference between both data is due to the difficulty to precisely control the pathlength of the very thin cell (0.001 cm).
