Reversibly tunable helicity induction and inversion in liquid crystal self-assembly by a planar chiroptic trigger molecule.

چکیده
Reversible control of the helical pitch length and inversion of helical handedness in an induced cholesteric liquid crystal phase were accomplished via a combination of photochemical and thermal isomerizations of a planar chiral azobenzenophane molecule.

Reversibly tunable helix inversion in supramolecular gels trigged by Co(2+).
Terpyridine-based ligands form octahedral complexes with Co(2+) at low cation concentrations to form helical assemblies which provide a supramolecular gel framework. Increasing the Co(2+) concentration above 0.6 equiv. reveals a second, co-existing square pyramidal complex derived assembly, having a distinct helicity. While this geometry dominates at 1 equiv. of Co(2+), we find this unique form...
متن کاملHELICITY AND PLANAR AMPLITUDES IN PION-PROTON SCATTERING AT 6.0 GeV/c
In addition to optimal conditions, invariant laws of Lorentz, parity and time reversal are imposed to find the relation between observables (spin rotation parameters) and bilinear combination of helicity amplitudes in pion-proton elastic scattering at 6.0 GeV/c. By normalizing the differential cross-section to unity, the magnitudes of helicity amplitudes and the angle between them are dete...
متن کاملMagnetic Nanoparticle-Assisted Tunable Optical Patterns from Spherical Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Bragg Reflectors
Cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) exhibit selective Bragg reflections of circularly polarized (CP) light owing to their spontaneous self-assembly abilities into periodic helical structures. Photonic cross-communication patterns could be generated toward potential security applications by spherical cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) structures. To endow these optical patterns with tunability, we ...

متن کاملAssembling oppositely charged lock and key responsive colloids: A mesoscale analog of adaptive chemistry
We have seen a considerable effort in colloid sciences to copy Nature's successful strategies to fabricate complex functional structures through self-assembly. This includes attempts to design colloidal building blocks and their intermolecular interactions, such as creating the colloidal analogs of directional molecular interactions, molecular recognition, host-guest systems, and specific bindi...
