Amphiphilic molecular gels from ω-aminoalkylated l-glutamic acid derivatives with unique chiroptical properties
摘要:
Self-assembling amphiphiles with unique chiroptical properties were derived from l-glutamic acid through omega-aminoalkylation and double long-chain alkylation. These amphiphiles can disperse in various solvents ranging from water to n-hexane. TEM and SEM observations indicate that the improvement in dispersity is induced by the formation of tubular and/or fibrillar aggregates with nanosized diameters, which makes these amphiphiles similar to aqueous lipid membrane systems. Spectroscopic observations, such as UV-visible and CD spectroscopies indicate that the aggregates are constructed on the basis of S- and R-chirally ordered structures through interamide interactions in water and organic media, respectively, and that these chiroptical properties can be controlled thermotropically and lyotropically. It is also reported that the chiral assemblies provide specific binding sites for achiral molecules and then induce chirality for the bonded molecules. Further, the applicability of the amphiphiles to template polymerization is discussed.

The fluorescence of a hemicyanine dye was considerably enhanced by the formation of loosely packed aggregates, compared to tightly aggregated and molecularly dispersed hemicyanine dyes. Loose dye aggregates were realized by introducing a self-assembling unit to the dye molecules and by adjusting the mixture of good solvent and nonsolvent for the dye moiety.
described for generating strong circularlypolarizedluminescence with highly tunable emission bands through chiral induction in nonchiral, totally organic, low‐molecular‐weight fluorescent dyes by chiral nanotemplate systems. Our approach allows the first systematic investigation to clarify the correlation between the circular dichroism and circularlypolarizedluminescence intensities. As a result, a
