Molecular recognition-induced liquid crystals from complementary diaminopyridine and flavin dyads
摘要:
Complementary diaminopyridine-flavin dyads that provide liquid crystalline systems have been synthesised. The mesophases possess well-defined molecular architectures, thermal stability and wide ranges. Furthermore, chiral centres have been introduced to explore the role chirality plays on the end morphology. The introduction of stereo-centres into these systems offers effective control over mesophase morphology and generates well-defined columnar liquid crystals.
Chiral Translation and Cooperative Self-Assembly of Discrete Helical Structures Using Molecular Recognition Dyads
摘要:
Complementary diaminopyridine (DAP) and flavin derivatives self-assemble into discrete helically stacked tetrads in hydrocarbon solvents. The self-assembled structure was demonstrated through induced circular dichroism using DAPs with chiral side-chains and flavin with achiral side-chains. Flavin derivatives with chiral side-chains were synthesized; cooperativity in the self-assembly was established through circular dichroism (CD) profiles and melting curves. It was found that placing stereocenters in both recognition units resulted in a strong bisignated profile and enhancement of complex stability, indicative of cooperative self-assembly.
