Intertwining triple helical nanofibers with an overall handedness have been formed from self-assembling chiral benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides 1, 2 and 3, whereas the achiral benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide 4 upon self-association gives rise to straight nanofibers without any twist and transmission electron microscopy images of chiral compounds clearly demonstrate that the handedness of the triple helical nanofibers can be reversed by using the enantiomeric benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide building blocks.
手性苯-1,3,5-三甲酰胺 1、2 和 3 通过自组装形成了具有整体手性的相互缠绕的三重螺旋纳米纤维,而非手性苯-1,3,5-三甲酰胺 4 通过自组装形成了没有任何扭曲的笔直纳米纤维、手性化合物的透射电子显微镜图像清楚地表明,通过使用对映体苯-1,3,5-三甲酰胺构建模块,三螺旋纳米纤维的手性可以逆转。
