(Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl)-p-nitro-L-phenylalanyl-p-nitro-L-phenylalanine, a dipeptide characterised by acentric symmetry, self-assembles into microtapes.
An achiral TPE-based cage with the dynamic rotational conformation exhibits chiral adaptive recognition with sequence specificity for aromatic L-/D-dipeptides to achieve adaptive CD and CPL responses in aqueous solution.
The dynamic combination of aromatics and peptides yields functional supramolecular biopolymers which self-assemble hierarchically and adapt through non-covalent interactions and/or reversible covalent reactions.
This review comprehensively summarizes circularly polarized luminescence materials from chiral macrocycles, especially chiral macrocyclic hosts and their derivatives.
Molecular spectroscopy measures transitions between discrete molecular energies which follow quantum mechanics.
