π–π stacking, hydrophobic, and chiral interactions is responsible for the formation of the chiral twists. An interesting sandwich structure, in which an excess of 4,4′‐bipyridine is inserted into the space of primary cages constructed from the amphiphile and 4,4′‐bipyridine, is proposed. Remarkably, the handedness of these chiral twists is related not only to the chiral center of the glutamic unit, but
一系列两亲L‐glutamic acid derivatives with various saturated alkyl chains has been designed and their co‐assembly with 4,4′‐bipyridine in aqueous media has been investigated. While the individual amphiphiles formed hydrogels with water and self‐assembled into fine fiber networks, the addition of 4,4′‐bipyridine caused significant changes in the co‐assembled nanostructures such that twisted chiral ribbons
