Linear dislocation tunes chirality: STM study of chiral transition and amplification in a molecular assembly on an HOPG surface.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Molecular arrangement and transition in the domain boundary of a chiral two-dimensional assembly is clearly revealed by high-resolution STM images on an HOPG surface and a linear dislocation formed by molecular trimers and located at opposite chiral domains is found to directly reverse the chirality on DTCD self-assembly.

Competitive chiral induction in a 2D molecular assembly: Intrinsic chirality versus coadsorber-induced chirality
Noncovalently introducing stereogenic information is a promising approach to embed chirality in achiral molecular systems. However, the interplay of the noncovalently introduced chirality with the intrinsic chirality of molecules or molecular aggregations has rarely been addressed. We report a competitive chiral expression of the noncovalent interaction-mediated chirality induction and the intr...
متن کاملGlobally homochiral assembly of two-dimensional molecular networks triggered by co-absorbers
Understanding the chirality induction and amplification processes, and the construction of globally homochiral surfaces, represent essential challenges in surface chirality studies. Here we report the induction of global homochirality in two-dimensional enantiomorphous networks of achiral molecules via co-assembly with chiral co-absorbers. The scanning tunnelling microscopy investigations and m...
متن کاملInvestigating the Ibuprofen Chiral Forms Interactions with Single Wall Carbon Nanotube
The aim of this study is investigating the transport mechanism of ibuprofen chiral isomers inside single wall carbon nano tube (SWCNT) using mathematical modeling. To achieve this goal, molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to evaluate the interactions of ibuprofen isomers with SWCNT in an aqueous solution. Results show that both chiral forms of ibuprofen molecules enter and remain i...
متن کاملOptical Chirality Enhancement in Twisted Arrays of Plasmonic Nano-rods
An important property of electromagnetic fields, which arises from the interaction between fields and chiral molecules, is called optical chirality. By enhancing this field property, while maintaining constant input power, we are able to increase absorption of circularly polarized light by chiral molecules of a certain handedness. This enhancement is achieved through the use of achiral plasmoni...
متن کاملNovel chiral recognition beyond the limitation due to the law of mass action: highly enantioselective chiral sensing based on non-linear response in phase transition events.
Based on non-linear response in phase transition events exhibiting a sharp transmittance change, an intelligent chiral sensor capable of chirality amplification in aqueous media was designed and constructed as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) having chiral pseudo-18-crown-6. Both sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor surmount the limitation due to the law of mass action.
