biological systems and self-assembly, and many assist in developing new drugs and materials. In this review, we present an overview of the progress in supramolecular chirality in self-assembly systems, which mainly include self-assembly in solution or in dispersion systems, supramolecular gels, organized molecular films such as Langmuir and Langmuir−Blodgett films, and others. Although there are several reviews detailing supramolecular chirality, self-assembly, as well as chiral nanomaterials and nanostructures,7−13 the field has grown rapidly, and many new exciting results and phenomena have emerged. Furthermore, a general view of the chirality issue through the prism of supramolecular chirality will be helpful in better understanding many emergent chiral phenomena. In this review, we try to provide a comprehensive understanding of various organized chiral systems from the perspective of supramolecular chirality, with reference mainly to work published after 2010. First, we will provide a general overview of the supramolecular chirality, its definition, and special features through a comparison with the molecular chirality. Second, we will simply introduce the various modern techniques of characterization used in supramolecular chirality. Third, we will show in relative detail how molecular chirality could be transferred or related to supramolecular chirality in selfassembled systems containing chiral molecular components. Here, we will further show some special features of supramolecular chirality such as dynamic chirality, the principles governing the chiral amplification, and chiral memory. In the fourth part, we will discuss how achiral molecules can selfassemble into a chiral system, i.e., symmetry breaking and the emergence of supramolecular chirality in systems containing exclusively achiral molecules. A great challenge in the supramolecular chiral systems constructed from achiral molecules is the control of the chirality of system. Thus, we will discuss the manner of controlling the supramolecular chirality in systems composed of achiral molecules. Finally, we will show some typical applications of supramolecular chiral systems in electrooptics, sensing, asymmetric catalysis, biological applications, among others. In this portion, we will focus on the uniqueness of chiral supramolecular systems, how they differ from molecular chiral systems, and the new properties that emerge from supramolecular chirality. Currently, with the rapid development of supramolecular chemistry, self-assembly, and nanoscience, chirality has become an important issues, and many new chirality-related topics have appeared, such as chirality at a surface,14−16 chirality in a coordination system,17−22 and plasmonic chirality.23 These topics have been discussed and reviewed but are beyond the scope of this review.

1. INTRODUCTION Chirality is a basic characteristic of living matter and nature. During the evolution of life on our planet, nature has favored one kind of chirality, thereby selecting the L-amino acids (with the exception of glycine) as the main component of proteins and enzymes and D-sugars as the main components of DNA and RNA. In addition, chirality is universal and can be observed at various hierarchical levels from subatomic and molecular to supramolecular, nanoscopic, macroscopic, and galactic scales.1 Figure 1 illustrates some typical chiral substances and objects at these various scales. At a subatomic level, chirality is connected to parity conservation. Therefore, only left-handed helical neutrinos are found. At a molecular level, there are a huge number of chiral molecules in natural system such as amino acids, sugars, and terpenes, and many synthetic compounds are also chiral. Furthermore, there are many biological macromolecules or supramolecular systems with chirality, microorganisms with helix-shaped viruses, and bacteria such as tobacco mosaic virus and Helicobacter pylori, respectively, and macroscopic living systems such as snails. On a larger scale, one finds that many plants express chiral sense, such as mountain climbing vines. On a light-year scale, our galaxy system is also chiral. Among these various levels, chirality at a molecular and supramolecular level is of vital importance since it is strongly related to chemistry, physics, biology, materials, and nanoscience, which treat the matter in scales from atomic to molecular and supramolecular.2 The concept of molecular chirality has long been recognized and provided guidance in the design of drugs and functional molecules, while chirality at a supramolecular level is currently attracting great attention due to rapid developments in supramolecular chemistry and molecular self-assembly. Supramolecular chemistry is the chemistry beyond molecules or the chemistry of entities generated by intermolecular noncovalent interactions.3,4 Supramolecular chemistry is strongly related to self-assembly, which has been defined as the autonomous organization of components into patterns or structures without human intervention.5 Both molecular selfassembly and supramolecular chemistry are connected by noncovalent bonds and/or certain nano/microsized architectures. Molecular self-assembly plays an important role in biological systems, the transfer and storage of genetic information in nucleic acids, and the folding of proteins into efficient molecular machines.6 During such biological processes, supramolecular chirality, which can be simply regarded as chirality at a supramolecular level, is the result of biological molecular self-assembly. A typical example is the secondary structures of proteins, which can exhibit various conformations such as α-helix, β-sheet, and random coil structures with different supramolecular chirality. During the molecular self-assembly, supramolecular chirality is also the result of the special spatial arrangements of the molecules. Although supramolecular chirality is strongly related to the chirality of the component chiral molecules, it is not necessary that all components be chiral. To this end, achiral molecules can also possibly produce supramolecular chirality in a self-assembled system. Therefore, a deeper exploration of chirality at the molecular and supramolecular level will provide a better understanding of

2. BASIC CONCEPTS RELATED TO MOLECULAR AND SUPRAMOLECULAR CHIRALITY Chirality is used to describe an object that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image. When a molecule is not superimposable on its mirror image, then the molecule can be termed a chiral molecule. However, in practice, when judging whether a molecule is chiral, it is preferable to see if there is an asymmetric carbon atom in the molecule. An asymmetric carbon atom or chiral carbon is a sp3 carbon atom that is attached to four different types of atoms or four different groups of atoms. In addition, if a molecule possesses two noncoplanar rings that are dissymmetrically connected and cannot easily rotate about the chemical bond connecting them or the molecule possesses an axis about which a set of substituents is held in a spatial 7305

arrangement that is not superimposable on its mirror image, the molecule can also be chiral even if it lacks an asymmetric carbon atom. Such chirality is termed planar chirality and axial chirality, respectively. Thus, molecular chirality can be essentially classified as point, plane, and axis chirality. Since supramolecular chemistry is based on the chemistry of a noncovalent bond, supramolecular chirality is produced by nonsymmetric arrangement of molecules through a noncovalent bond. Therefore, supramolecular chirality can be produced from chiral component molecules, the combination of chiral and achiral molecules, or exclusively achiral molecules. Supramolecular chirality is largely dependent on the manner of assembly of the molecular components, but the chirality of the component molecule plays an important role in determining this manner in supramolecular systems. Generally, chiral molecules tend to form specific chiral structures with determined supramolecular chirality. In the combination of chiral and achiral molecules, achiral molecules can be induced into chiral assemblies if there is a strong interaction between the chiral and the achiral molecules. In most cases, the supramolecular chirality of the system is also determined and may follow the chirality of the chiral molecules. In the case of exclusively achiral components, supramolecular chirality can result from the formation of supramolecular systems but in general will be racemic in the resulting macroscopic system. Table 1 lists a simple comparison between molecular and supramolecular chirality. Both share some common features and are strongly related. When we speak of supramolecular chirality, molecular chirality should be frequently considered. For example, in the case of peptides, the chiral monomers covalently

polymerize into polymers to form chiral primary structures and then self-assemble into secondary and tertiary structures through noncovalent bonds, where both molecular and supramolecular chirality are involved. The key to their difference originates from the differences in the covalent and noncovalent bonds. There are some unique features of supramolecular chirality, as shown in Table 1. For example, supramolecular chirality is generally dynamic and changes in response to external stimuli and the environment. Chiral memory effects can also be seen in many supramolecular systems. Molecular chirality can originate from the tetrahedral geometry of certain atoms or the asymmetric axes and planes, while supramolecular chirality can be due to selfassembled helical, spiral structures and chiral sheets or chiral domain structures on surfaces. It should be noted that herein we mean molecular chirality generally refers to that of small molecules. If we consider the chirality of polymer systems, the distinctions between this and supramolecular chirality are less obvious. For example, the sergeant−soldier rule and the majority rule of chirality were originally proposed based on polymers and are also applicable to supramolecular systems. Below are some general terms related to molecular and supramolecular chirality. 2.1. Configuration and Conformation Chirality

Configuration refers to the permanent geometry resulting from the spatial arrangement of a system’s bonds. Conformation refers to the spatial arrangement of substituent groups that are free to assume different positions in space without breaking any bonds, because of the freedom of bond rotation. While configuration chirality is generally used in the case of molecular chirality, such as the absolute configuration of a chiral molecule, conformation chirality usually refers to supramolecular chirality in systems such as the secondary and tertiary structures of proteins. However, this term has not always been rigorously used based on this definition.

Induced chirality generally refers to those chiral supramolecular systems where chirality is induced in an achiral guest molecule as a result of asymmetric information transfer from a chiral host or vice versa. This host could be a chiral molecule, chiral pocket, cavity, or chiral nanostructure. In order to produce the induced chirality, it is necessary for the achiral molecule to have a strong interaction with the chiral host through a noncovalent bond. A typical example of induced chirality is the encapsulation of a chromophore into the cavity of cyclodextrin.24 7306

2.3. Helicity or Helical Chirality

molecule with axial chirality. If the substituents are molecules

Helicity is a special form of axial chirality, which is defined as an entity that has an axis about which a set of substituents is held in a spatial arrangement that is not superimposable on its mirror image. If these substituents are atoms of molecular groups covalently attached to the axis then it can be classified as a chiral

held together along the axis by noncovalent bonds then the assemblies can be regarded as helical and have helical chirality. Helicity is very common in the supramolecular systems, and in particular, such chirality can often be visualized through AFM, 7307

SEM, and TEM observations. Helicity can be classified as M or P helicity, which will be discussed later. Besides these chirality concepts, the naming conventions of chirality are complicated, and the detailed descriptions have been published.25−27 For the reader’s convenience, Figure 2 illustrates some typical chiral compounds or assemblies with certain types of chiral conventions. The R/S system is the most important and general nomenclature system for denoting enantiomers. Hereby, each chiral center is labeled R or S according to a system where its substituents are each assigned a priority, according to the Cahn− Ingold−Prelog priority rules (CIP). The D/L system (coined from the Latin dexter and laevus, right and left) is related to glyceraldehyde, whose two chiral isomers are labeled D and L. In this system, compounds are named by analogy to glyceraldehyde. Many biological molecules are labeled using this method. The M/P chirality generally refers to a supramolecular system or the axial or planar molecular chirality. Viewing from either end of a molecule or supermolecule downward along the helical axis, the system has P helicity if the rotation is clockwise and M helicity if the rotation is anticlockwise. The Λ and Δ chirality terms are used for defining coordination compounds. The enantiomers can be designated as Λ for a left-handed twist of the propeller described by the ligands and Δ for a right-handed twist, as illustrated in Figure 2.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is based on measurement of the force between a sharp tip and a sample’s surface. The sample is mounted on a piezoelectric scanner that moves the sample beneath a tip mounted on a soft cantilever. As the sample passes beneath the tip, the force between the tip and the surface can be measured, which forms an AFM image. AFM has been used successfully to probe the surfaces at scales down to the atomic level in vacuum, air, or other environments. The sample is generally fabricated on a very flat surface such as those of silica or mica. For example, AFM was used to observe self-assembled chiral nanotubes obtained through the gelation of bolaamphiphiles terminated with L- or D-glutamic acids.27 On the basis of the AFM observation, we can directly judge the supramolecular chirality of the nanotube. L-HDGA formed a right-handed helical nanotube, while D-HDGA formed a left-handed one. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) technology is a technology based on quantum tunneling. When a conducting tip is brought very close to a conductive surface and a bias voltage is applied, a tunneling current flows between the tip and the surface. The resulting tunneling current is a function of the gap between the tip and the surface.31 If the tunneling current is monitored and kept constant by adjusting the gap, the elevation of the surface can be traced and thus displayed an STM image. This technique provides an excellent means for controlling the distance between the probe and the surface and a very high resolution image of the samples mounted on an atomically flat conductive substrate such as HOPG. The STM technique provides a molecular level resolution and is used to directly discriminate the absolute configuration of chiral molecules.32 Further, the technique is also applicable to observation of the supramolecular chirality at surfaces.14 For example, Figure 3B shows mirror-imaged chiral twin chains that were self-assembled from PVBA (4-[trans-2-(pyrid-4-vinyl)]benzoic acid) adsorbed on a palladium substrate. The twin chains display supramolecular chirality.28 The scanning electron microscope (SEM) is the most widely used electron microscope for investigating the surface features of materials. When electrons interact with atoms in the sample they produce various signals that can be detected including scattered electrons and X-rays. SEM uses electron illumination to form images from the reflected electrons. SEM is critical in all fields that require characterization of solid materials. The SEM image is seen in three dimensions, but the result is a two-dimensional photograph; thus, it is especially useful for detecting chiral structures such as helices or twists. Figure 3C shows our results with self-assembled twisted nanorods by treating water-soluble TPPS with (1R,2R)- or (1S,2S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane in which the mirror-imaged left-handed and right-handed helices were formed, respectively.29 Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through an ultrathin specimen, interacting with the specimen as it passes through. A TEM image is formed from the interaction of the electrons transmitted through a very thin specimen ( 5 mm), C = crystallization. Reprinted with permission from ref 321.

The gelation properties, supramolecular chirality, and nanostructures of the racemic hydrogels can be regulated by changing molar ratios of different molecular building blocks (Figure 115).323 In addition to forming supramolecular gels, the mixing of enantiomers has also been used to tune the properties of different supramolecular assemblies. Oda et al. studied the twists and nanotubes formed from the coassembly of nonchiral dicationic n2-n Gemini amphiphiles with chiral tartrate anions. They found that the morphologies of the assemblies, such as the twist pitch of the ribbons, can be continuously modulated by varying the enantiomeric excess of tartrate anions. For instance, adding 10 mol % of the opposite enantiomer of tartrate anions led to a 15%

self-assembly can be a powerful tool for developing novel functional soft matters (Figure 114).322 Wang and Liu et al. studied the coassembly of the glutamicacid-based bolaamphiphile racemates with melamine. In this system, the coassembly of melamine with pure enantiomeric glutamic-acid-based bolaamphiphile (HDGA, 15b) cannot form gels. The assembly of the glutamic-acid-based bolaamphiphile racemate produced only precipitates. Mixing the glutamic-acidbased bolaamphiphile racemate with melamine produced good supramolecular gels. Remarkably, the racemic hydrogels showed a lower CGC value, enhanced mechanical rigidity, and dual pHresponsive ability compared to the pure enantiomer hydrogels. 7364

increase in the diameter of assembled supramolecular nanotubes (Figure 116).69 Liu et al. synthesized enantiomeric L- or D-glutamic-acid-based lipids (1) and investigated the self-assembly of these chiral enantiomers. Although both L- and D-enantiomeric molecules self-assembled into ultralong nanotubes, mixing D- and Lenantiomers with different molar ratios further changed the nanostructures consecutively from helical nanotubes to nanotwists to flat nanoplates (Figure 117).53 In most cases, the self-assembly of chiral molecules can lead to helical nanostructures, while racemates usually assemble into flat nanostructures. However, this situation has exceptions. Liu et al. synthesized the enantiomeric L- or D-alanine derivatives (AlaC17, 100), and the self-assembly and gelation properties of the corresponding individual enantiomers and the racemates were investigated. The self-assembly of individual enantiomers of AlaC17 can form only flat nanostructures, even though both LAlaC17 and D-AlaC17 can form gels in different organic solvents. Interestingly, racemic AlaC17 was found to self-assemble into beautiful twisted ribbons. Moreover, these twists are very sensitive to a slight enantiomeric excess of many other amino acids, showing remarkable macroscopic chirality. Therefore, these racemic assemblies can be used for the discrimination of various amino acid derivatives (Figure 118).230

6. APPLICATIONS OF SUPRAMOLECULAR CHIRALITY Recently, self-assembled chiral supramolecular systems have attracted greater attention due to the many potential applications of forms of soft matter. Such applications can further enhance our understanding of supramolecular chirality. In particular, new properties that single chiral molecules do not have emerge from supramolecular chiral systems. Certainly, for many applications of functional soft matters, supramolecular chirality plays the critical role, which is also dependent on the properties and characteristics of the supramolecular chiral information ex-

chirality and biological applications of chiral soft matters will also be discussed. 6.1. Supramolecular Chiral Recognition and Sensing

Chiral recognition is a very important issue in supramolecular chemistry. In general, interactions between different enantiomers and another chiral molecule can produce totally different results. These different interactions can be detected by spectral measurements or determination of their crystal structures,318,327−329 representing the chiral recognition. Thus far, studies on host−guest chemistry related to chirality have focused on chiral recognition,330−337 and many excellent works have been published. For example, work on chiral recognition using cyclodextrins is very famous and has been extensively reviewed.338−346 On the other hand, chiral recognition not only describes the interactions between different chiral molecules but also can represent the interactions between chiral supramolecular assemblies and chiral molecules. Herein, we focus on the chiral recognition of supramolecular assemblies.347−349 Thus, when molecules with contrary chirality interact with chiral supramolecular assemblies, the chiral recognition shows some new features, which are different from the case of chiral recognition between different chiral molecules. For example, when molecules with different chirality are mixed with chiral supramolecular gels, chiral recognition can be achieved from the change in appearance or rheological properties of the related supramolecular gels. More importantly, these chiral recognitions, detected as sol−gel transformation or color changes of the supramolecular gels, are visible to the naked eye.350,192 Although chiral recognition related to the host−guest chemistry of cyclodextrin has been widely investigated, chiral recognition based on highly symmetrical cucurbituril molecules is still intriguing. Thus, when achiral cucurbiturils form a very stable complex with chiral molecules, the corresponding assemblies are able to completely discriminate other enantiomers. This work has been reported by Inoue and coworkers.351 In this study, achiral cucurbiturils (CBs) were incorporated into (R)- or (S)-2-methylpiperazine, and the resulting complex showed significant enantiomeric discrimination of various chiral organic amines, such as (S)-2methylbutylamine (Figure 119). The chiral recognition could

Although chiral recognitions based on cyclodextrins have been widely investigated, supramolecular polymers constructed from cyclodextrins also showed interesting recognition properties. For example, Yashima et al. synthesized polymers containing βcyclodextrin substituents and studied enantioselective gelation of these polymers in response to the chirality of a chiral amine. It has been found that (S)-1-phenylethylamine can help the polymers to form organogels but that (R)-1-phenylethylamine cannot.352 Shinkai et al. incorporated 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid into cyclodextrin (CD) as a bridging ligand, which further interacted with TbIII to form polyrotaxane-type metallosupramolecular polymers. Due to the chirality of cyclodextrin as well as the strong fluorescence of rare earth complexes, the recognition of small chiral molecules by this supramolecular polymer was achieved based on both fluorescence and circular dichroism spectral changes.353 One of the most important advantages of the chiral recognitions from different chiral soft matters can be the alteration of their macroscopic properties, which also can be 7366

In particular, adding metal ions to the organogels can significantly change the selfassembled nanostructures and the spectral characteristics of these systems. Thus, Cu2+ can transform the nanofiber gel into a chiral twist, while adding Mg2+ ions enhanced the fluorescence of the gels. Remarkably, organogels containing Mg2+ ions have very good chiral recognition ability. For example, when D- or L-tartaric acid was introduced into the system, the fluorescence quenching processes of these organogels can be totally different (Figure 123).158 Liu et al. designed and synthesized a series of amphiphilic molecules containing both glutamide moieties and long alkyl chains with different hydrophobic headgroups (Figure 5). The supramolecular assemblies of some of these amphiphiles can be used for the recognition of chiral molecules. Except for the organogels prepared from o-SLG and p-SLG, the assemblies based on quinolinol-functionalized L-glutamides (HQLG, 10) and metal ions were also found to have good chiral recognition capability.55 HQLG (10) can form complexes with different metal ions, such as Li+, Zn2+, and Al3+. Although these chiral complexes do not show a CD signal or chiral recognition properties in solution, they can form fluorescent metallogels with optical activity upon gelation in several organic solvents. The recognition of the small chiral organic molecules by these fluorescent metallogels can be detected by the changes in their CD spectra or fluorescence spectra. For example, metallogels formed by Zn2+/HQLG (10) complex showed a totally different fluorescent color when treated with (R,R)- or (S,S)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. Therefore, using metallogels, chiral recognition can be achieved by the naked eye. It is believed that the self-assembled nanostructures play very important roles for chiral recognition (Figure 124). Porphyrins are very important molecular building blocks for the study of chiral supramolecular assembly. Ihara et al. synthesized an L-glutamide-functionalized zinc porphyrin (gTPP/Zn, 150) and investigated the enantioselective recognition of different amino acids by assemblies thereof (Figure 125A). gTPP/Zn (150) can form organogels in different organic solvents.

identified by the naked eye. Therefore, visual chiral recognitions can be realized. For example, in the case of supramolecular gels, the recognition of chiral gelators can be achieved from simply identifying whether the systems are a “gel”. For supramolecular gel systems, chiral recognition by the naked eye may be simply achieved from the sol−gel transformation. The work of Pu et al. is the first report of this phenomenon. They synthesized a Cu(II) terpyridine complex containing 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) substituents (148), which can form stable supramolecular gels in CHCl3 upon sonication. Interestingly, some chiral amino alcohols were found to change these gels into sols, while their enantiomers failed. Therefore, the chiral recognition of this organogel to some chiral amino alcohols can be achieved from the sol−gel transformation, which can be recognized by the naked eye. In this context, (S)phenylglycinol (0.10 equiv) can break the CHCl3 gel network, while (R)-phenylglycinol cannot. With chiral 1-amino-2propanol, the same enantioselective gel-collapsing process can also be observed (Figure 121).354

Tu et al. synthesized a gelator containing steroidal substituents and a platinum complex (149) and prepared metallogels from the assembly of these gelators. A visual chiral recognition can be realized from the sol−gel transformation of the metallogels. When (R)-binap was introduced into the system, the metallogels were destroyed. In contrast, (S)-binap cannot change the situation of metallogels (Figure 122).355 7367

results show that the coassembly of L-lysine dendrons with chiral amines can form supramolecular gel fibers, and the chirality of the amine could control the corresponding diastereomeric complexes. When both R and S amines were incorporated into the systems, the L-lysine dendrons could selectively coassemble with the R enantiomer, because the L-lysine dendron/R amine complexes formed the most stable gel. Moreover, when R amine enantiomers were added to the supramolecular gels formed by the L-lysine dendron and pure S amines, the diffusion of R amines and displacement of the original S amines from the “solid-like” fibers can be detected (Figure 126B).357 These results suggest that the two-component organogels are very sensitive to the molecular chirality of gelators and have great potential for chiral recognitions.

The CD spectra of the self-assembly of g-TPP/Zn in cyclohexane showed strong optical activity. Interestingly, L- and Denantiomers of many different α-amino acid derivatives can be differentiated by organogels of g-TPP/Zn. For example, when Lhistidine methyl ester (L-His-OMe) or D-histidine methyl ester (D-His-OMe) was mixed with g-TPP/Zn cyclohexane gels, very different CD and fluorescence spectra were obtained (Figure 125B and 125C).356 Smith and co-workers thoroughly investigated two-component organogels based on the coassembly of an L-lysine dendron (151) with different amines (Figure 126A). For these systems, when the chiral amines were used for the coassembly, very interesting chiral recognition phenomena can be detected. The

Suzuki et al. synthesized secondary terephthalamide derivatives containing four aryl blades (153a-H), which can be used as the host molecule for chiral sensing. The conformation of this host can be changed from a nonpropeller anti form to a propellershaped syn form with the formation of a complex with some chiral molecules, such as p-xylylenediammonium derivatives. Moreover, depending on the chirality of the guest enantiomers coassembled with secondary terephthalamide derivatives, the complex can be biased to prefer a particular handedness, with the enhancement of CD signal. This secondary terephthalamide derivative can be used as chiral sensor for the discrimination of the very important neurotransmitter, (−)-phenylephrine (Figure 128).369 Some biomacromolecules can also be used for chiral recognition and sensing systems. As one of the most important biomacromolecules, DNA contains chiral information from the molecular to supramolecular level. Moreover, the stability of DNA can be a huge advantage for building different devices for chiral sensing. Qu et al. constructed electrochemical DNA sensors for the chiral sensing. In this system, DNA molecules modified with thiol groups were covalently bonded to a gold electrode. When small chiral molecules interacted with DNA, changes in the electrochemical characteristics of the gold electrode could be detected, thus demonstrating chiral sensing ability. It is worth mentioning that this system offers great advantages for distinguishing chiral metallosupramolecular complexes. For example, the authors reported a three-way junction based on an E-DNA sensor. In this study, the same palindromic DNA labeled with a redox-active methylene blue (MB) tag at the 5′-terminus was used as the support. Discrimination of chiral metallosupramolecular complexes with an enantioselective recognition ratio of about 3.5 was realized (Figure 129A and 129B).370 In another case, the authors reported a similar electrochemical DNA (E-DNA) chiral sensor based on the human telomeric G-quadruplex formation. An enantioselective recognition on zinc-finger-like chiral metallosupramolecular assemblies reaches ratios higher than 5 (Figure 129C).371 As previously described, supramolecular chiral assemblies have good capabilities for the recognition of low molecular weight chiral organic molecules. Worthy of note are the chiral supramolecular assemblies that can recognize very small amounts of chiral molecules. In this context, we will show some representative examples of chiral sensing based on supramolecular assemblies.

In principle, if the chiral recognition can be triggered by a very small amount of chiral organic molecules, these assemblies with chiral recognition ability can be used as a chiral sensor. Compared with the recognition of chiral molecules, chiral sensors based on supramolecular assemblies can be more difficult to prepare. On the other hand, some wide-sense chiral sensors are available based on organic molecules, polymers, and supramolecular assemblies.192,358,359 Herein, we discuss some typical examples of chiral sensors that have been recently reported. Very simple but efficient chiral sensors can be prepared from the biaryls, which have been developed mainly by Wolf et al.360,361 For example, naphthalene derivatives containing salicylaldehyde units and pyridyl N-oxide fluorophores have been synthesized. This is the result of the salicylaldehyde unit which can form a complex with amino alcohols with different chirality and subsequently change the conformation of the molecules. The chiral sensing can be determined from the changes in the CD and fluorescence spectra. By using this system, the absolute configuration of many amino alcohols can be analyzed.42 Covalently connected porphyrin dimers, which were named porphyrin tweezer systems, have been thoroughly studied by Nakanishi, Berova, and co-workers. These porphyrin tweezer systems can be used to determine the stereochemistry of many small chiral organic molecules.362−367 Indeed, some of the porphyrin tweezers can be very good chiral sensors with determination of the absolute chirality of the guest molecules. For example, Borhan et al. designed and synthesized an electron-deficient fluorinated porphyrin tweezer (152) and demonstrated that it is a good chiral sensor for the discrimination of many different small organic molecules containing two chiral centers. Depending on the chirality of the small organic substrates, the changes in the CD spectrum of the supramolecular assemblies formed by the porphyrin tweezers and chiral guests can be detected. In this case, the absolute stereochemical configuration of a variety of erythro and threo 7369

porphyrin dimer can lead to a homochiral box-shaped tetrameric assembly. This self-assembled porphyrin box is enantiomerically enriched and optically active, showing that chiroptical sensing can be realized (Figure 130). From the CD spectra of the porphyrin box, the absolute configuration of limonene can be determined. Interestingly, in the case of very small enantiomeric enrichment of limonene, extremely large molecular ellipticities of the porphyrin boxes were detected.372 Chiral sensing based on multicomponent assemblies containing reversible covalent bonding are also worth mentioning. Anslyn et al. constructed a four-component reversible assembly containing carbonyl activation and hemiaminal ether stabilization (155) (Figure 131A). In this system, reversible binding of the monoalcohol has been achieved. Moreover, the tetradentate ligand of the assembly renders close incorporation of secondary alcohols. By binding and exchange of chiral alcohols, chiral sensing can be demonstrated by CD spectral measurements (Figure 131B). This chiral sensor can be used for determination of the enantiomeric excess of mixed chiral alcohols with different ee values (Figure 131B).373 A chiral sensor with the ability to differentiate many different chiral molecules, such as amino acids, peptides, proteins, and even some aromatic drugs, has been developed by Biedermann and Nau. These systems are based on ternary complexes formed between the macrocyclic host cucurbit[8]uril, dicationic dyes, and chiral aromatic analytes (Figure 132A). Although both cucurbit[8]uril and dicationic dyes are achiral, the chirality of the aromatic analytes with low micromolar concentrations in water can be detected by the changes in the CD spectra. Remarkably, by using these chiral sensors, peptide sequences can also be recognized. Most interestingly, since the chiral sensors are constructed via noncovalent interactions with good reversibility, real-time monitoring of the chirality of analytes can be achieved. Therefore, for certain enzyme-catalyzed chemical reactions, the rate of reactions, the yield of products, and the ee values of the products can be detected in real time by measuring the CD spectra (Figure 132B).374 Although we would like to focus on supramolecular chirality within self-assembled systems in this review, we still need to cover some of the chiral metal nanomaterials in this portion to fully address chiral sensing. Because of the free electrons on the surface, the plasmonic absorption or CD spectra from the chiral metal nanomaterials can be very sensitive for detecting the interactions with other chiral molecules,375−380 and chiral metal nanomaterials can be constructed as ultrasensitive chiral sensors.

In this study, the optical excitation of plasmonic planar chiral metamaterials can generate superchiral electromagnetic fields, which are highly sensitive for the detection of chiral peptide nanostructures. The sensitivity of this chiral sensor was found to be up to 106 times greater than that of the optical polarimetry measurements.

has great potential for detecting amyloid diseases and certain types of viruses (Figure 133).381 6.2. Supramolecular Chiroptical Switches

In the field of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology, constructing assemblies that act like a “switch” is one of the most interesting topics. In general, any assembly in which specific properties can be reversibly changed with an external stimulus can be regarded as a supramolecular switch. A supramolecular chiroptical switch is based on reversible changes of supramolecular chirality, which is seen as externally stimulated optical activity.382−384 The changes of supramolecular chirality can be achiral to chiral, either reversible or reversible from left-handed chirality to right-handed chirality. Various supramolecular assemblies, such as liquid crystals,385 host−guest complexes,386 LB films,387−389 and supramolecular gels,51,56 have been developed as supramolecular chiral switches. In addition, some small organic molecules or polymers can also be used as chiroptical switches based on photoirradiation or interaction with other small molecules.391−396 A supramolecular chiroptical switch based on an amorphous azobenzene polymer (156) has been constructed by Kim et al. When the thin films of an achiral epoxy-based polymer containing photoresponsive azobenzene groups were irradiated by elliptically polarized light (EPL), supramolecular chirality was introduced into the system, which was confirmed by the CD spectral measurements. The helical arrangement of the azobenzenes plays a very important role in the photoinduced supramolecular chirality. When the irradiation at 488 nm was changed from right-handed elliptical polarization to left-handed elliptical polarization, the handedness of the chiral supramolecular assembly also changed reversibly. This supramolecular chiroptical switch was able to operate several times before fatigue resistance occurred (Figure 134).391 Polythiophene is a very important conductive polymer. Yashima et al. constructed the first reversible supramolecular chirality switch based on chiral polythiophene aggregates. When copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Cu(OTf)2] was added to chiral aggregates of chiral regioregular polythiophene in a chloroform−acetonitrile mixture, the CD signal of the assemblies disappeared due to the oxidative doping of the polymer main chain. However, when amines, such as triethylenetetramine (TETA), were added to the system to undope the polymer, the CD signals reappeared. Thus, a supramolecular chiral switch can be prepared from the assembly of chiral polythiophenes with the

addition or removal of an electron from the corresponding polymer main chain.397 Chiral LS films constructed from the air/water interfacial assembly of achiral molecular building blocks can be used as supramolecular chiral switches.

is a typical characteristic of assemblies based on noncovalent interactions, and supramolecular chiral switches have been achieved from the assembly of amphiphilic molecules on a water surface. For example, achiral 5-(octadecyloxy)-2-(2thiazolylazo)phenol (TARC18, 157) can form chiral LS films via an air/water interfacial assembly. Supramolecular chiral switches based on the LS films of achiral TARC18 were fabricated by alternately exposing the film to HCl gas and to air (Figure 135).387

their well-known work on light-driven molecular motors.399−401 In this context, the modified light-driven molecular motor was covalently connected to the terminus of poly(n-hexyl isocyanate) (PHIC), and the chiral information from the headgroups of the polymer was found to be expressed at both the supramolecular and the macromolecular levels. Upon irradiation with two different wavelengths of light, a chiroptical switch has been demonstrated, as evidenced by the CD spectral measurements and images obtained from an optical microscope equipped with crossed polarizers (Figure 137).385

Chiral thin films that were constructed from achiral phthalocyanine derivatives via air/water interfacial assembly can also be used as supramolecular chiral switches.382 In particular, supramolecular chiroptical switches based on the assembly of achiral phthalocyanine derivatives were found to be very stable. Certainly, the π−π interactions between phthalocyanine rings can increase the stability of the assembly. Most importantly, the polymerization of achiral phthalocyanine derivatives can produce chiral assemblies based on covalent bonds. When LS films containing polymerized chiral assemblies of achiral phthalocyanine derivatives were alternately exposed to HCl and NH3, a reversible change in the CD spectra was detected. This process can be repeated many times without any decrease in CD signal intensity. Zou et al. constructed LB films of azobenzene-substituted diacetylene (NADA, 158). Although NADA is achiral, the NADA LB films show supramolecular chirality. Moreover, the assemblies within the LB films can be polymerized with photoirradiation. When left- and right-handed circularly polarized ultraviolet light (CPUL) was applied, polymerized NADA (PNADA) LB films with different chirality were obtained, as confirmed by the corresponding CD spectra from both azobenzene chromophores and polydiacetylene (PDA) chains. Interestingly, these polymerized LB films NADA (PDA LB films) can be used as chiroptical switches after irradiation using left- and right-handed circularly polarized lasers (CPL, 442 nm), due to alternation of the stereoregular packing of azobenzene chromophores.388 The self-assembly of banana-shaped achiral molecules was found to lead to chiral liquid crystals, and chiroptical switches based on liquid crystals containing only achiral molecular building blocks were also achieved. Tschierske et al. synthesized bent-core mesogens carrying branched oligosiloxane units. A chiroptical switch based on the phase transition was obtained by applying an electric field or changing the temperature.398 An elegant light-driven supramolecular chiroptical switch was developed by Feringa and co-workers. This work was based on

Chiral polymers containing azobenzene groups were also found to form liquid crystals. Chiral switches based on these chiral liquid-crystalline polymers were investigated by Angiolini and co-workers. It was found that the chiral polymers containing azobenzene groups and L-lactic acid formed a smectic A1/2 (fully interdigitated) liquid-crystalline phase. The resulting chiroptical switching of the system was achieved by irradiation with circularly polarized light (CPL) with different handedness.402 Chiroptical switches based on some soft matters, such as supramolecular gels or supramolecular assemblies in solution, have attracted increased attention recently. Cucurbituril is a very important building block for preparing chiral supramolecular assemblies.

Tian et al.403 In this study, three molecular tweezers containing 4,4′-bipyridinium (BPY2+) and (R)-2,2′-dioxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (BIN) units with different length alkyl chains were designed and synthesized (159). In aqueous solution, these chiral binaphthalene−bipyridinium guests formed complexes with cucurbituril hosts. In this system, chiroptical switching was achieved from the reversible changes of the helicity of the BIN units, which was triggered by reduction of the BPY2+ units. In addition, the alkyl linkers also play an important role in association to cucurbiturils. Thus, changing the length of the alkyl chains modulated the properties of the chiral switches, such as the molar ratio of the complex and the dihedral angle of BIN (Figure 138). Figure 139.

nanotubes, this hierarchical assembly cannot be used as a chiroptical switch. Only when Azo was coassembled with the bolaamphiphile at the molecular level could the corresponding assemblies show reversible changes both in the UV−vis and in the CD spectra upon alternative UV−vis irradiation of Azo (Figure 140).404 Chiral supramolecular nanotubes assembled by L- or Dglutamic-acid-based bolaamphiphiles (HDGA, 15b) in water can also be used as templates to produce silica nanotubes. Most interestingly, only the inner walls of the formed silica nanotubes were found to have supramolecular chirality. When the photoactive azobenzene moieties were loaded onto the inner chiral silica nanotubes, chiroptical switches based on inorganic nanomaterials resulted (Figure 141).27 6.3. Supramolecular Chiral Catalysis

In synthetic chemistry, construction of chiral molecules has been found to be extremely important. Therefore, developing different chiral homogeneous catalysts and heterogeneous catalysts has become a significant research goal.405−411 For example, coordination complexes containing metal ions and chiral ligands have been widely investigated as highly efficient chiral catalysts. Many outstanding reviews have been published examining this issue.410−416 In particular, as a class of very important coordination complexes with crystalline structures, metal− organic frameworks (MOFs), which have infinite network structures built with multitopic organic ligands and metal ions, have been thoroughly studied as potential asymmetric catalysts. This topic has also been extensively reviewed recently.417 Similarly, the catalytic properties of cyclodextrin derivatives have also attracted increased attention recently.418,419 As the chiral host, cyclodextrin derivatives can provide a suitable chiral environment, and reactions at the guest molecules can provide reaction products with chirality. Moreover, the molecular structures of cyclodextrin derivatives can be further modified to obtain more efficient chiral catalysts.420 There are also many good review articles concerning chiral catalysis based on cyclodextrin derivatives. For example, Inoue and co-workers summarized supramolecular photochirogenesis based on cyclodextrin derivatives.421,422 In a general sense, “supramolecular chiral catalysis” is presently a major topic of research interest, but we cannot address every aspect of this field of research. In this review, we concentrate on the catalytic properties of some chiral supramolecular assemblies. Although the catalytic properties of metal complexes have been

The very good stimulus-responsive properties of selfassembled systems based on noncovalent interactions can help these systems form chiral switches with unique performance. For example, Liu et al. synthesized a glutamic-acid-based lipid containing an azobenzene headgroup (azo-LG2C18, 5), which can form organogels with supramolecular chirality in different organic solvents. Remarkably, the resulting organogels can be used as chiroptical switches with multiresponsibility. Thus, the supramolecular chirality can be changed reversibly by photoirradiation, temperature variation, or solvent polarity (Figure 139).56 A supramolecular chiroptical switch based on multicomponent self-assembled soft matters has also been developed by Liu group. The self-assembly of chiral glutamic-acid-based bolaamphiphiles (HDGA, 15b) can lead to hydrogels and chiral supramolecular nanotubes. For the construction of multicomponent soft matters, the azobenzene derivative 4(phenylazo)benzoic acid sodium salt (Azo) can be coassembled with either HDGA molecules (15b) or chiral supramolecular nanotubes. Although very strong supramolecular chirality can be detected from the coassembly of Azo with the preformed chiral 7374

induction and reusability in the catalysis of asymmetric hydrogenation of dehydro-α-amino acid and enamide derivatives (Figure 142).423 Furthermore, Ding et al. synthesized a heteroditopic ligand containing a 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (tpy) unit and Feringa’s MonoPhos (160). The selective coordination of this ligand with FeII and RhI ions can produce chiral supramolecular polymers, which can be used as chiral bimetallic self-supported catalysts. In the hydrogenation of α-dehydroamino acid, enamide, and itaconic acid derivatives, these reusable heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts can lead to very high reaction rates with excellent enantioselectivity (90−97% ee) (Figure 143).424 Among various supramolecular chiral catalysis from selfassembly, ion pair catalysts, which have been developed in recent years, are very important systems with many distinctive characteristics. Ooi et al. developed supramolecular assemblies containing ion pairs through intermolecular hydrogen bonding. This system was formed by the coassembly of a chiral tetraaminophosphonium cation, two phenols, and a phenoxide anion and was found to have chiral catalytic activity (161). In solution, this ion pair complex promotes a highly stereoselective conjugate addition of acyl anion equivalents to α,β-unsaturated ester surrogates with a broad substrate scope (Figure 144).425 Ishihara et al. also produced self-assembled chiral catalysts without metal ions. These supramolecular catalysts are based on in situ coassembly from chiral diols, arylboronic acids, and tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane (162). In the Diels−Alder reactions of cyclopentadiene with different acroleins, these

well investigated, supramolecular polymers based on coordination interactions have very special characteristics for supramolecular chiral catalysis. For example, Ding et al. constructed polymeric supramolecular chiral catalysts based on self-assembly. The authors synthesized an organic ligand containing ureido-4[1H]ureidopyrimidone (UP) and Feringa’s MonoPhos motifs. By mixing the organic ligand with [Rh(cod)2]BF4, supramolecular polymers can be produced by orthogonal self-assembly via hydrogen-bonding and ligand-to-metal coordination interactions. This supramolecular polymer shows excellent asymmetric

Supramolecular catalysts based on the coassembly of chiral amines and poly(alkene glycol)s have been reported by Xu et al. These systems were found to be highly efficient in the asymmetric catalysis of the unusual Diels−Alder reaction between cyclohexenones and nitrodienes, nitroenynes, or nitroolefins, providing excellent chemo-, regio-, and enantioselectivities (Figure 146).427

Although many chiral supramolecular catalysts have been developed via self-assembly, the chiral catalysis characteristics of systems are still largely dependent on chirality at the molecular level. By contrast, even if many chiral nanostructures have been constructed via self-assembly, the relationship between chirality at the nanoscale and chiral catalysis at the molecular level is still rarely discussed. As mentioned previously, the self-assembly of chiral glutamicacid-based bolaamphiphiles (HDGA, 15b) led to hydrogels and chiral supramolecular nanotubes. When Cu2+ ions were added to the system, a monolayer nanotube was transformed into a

multilayer nanotube with a tubular wall thickness of about 10 nm. Interestingly, the resulting Cu2+-containing supramolecular nanotubes were useful as an asymmetric catalyst for the Diels− Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and aza-chalcone, which accelerates the reaction rate and enhances enantiomeric selectivity. Thus, asymmetric catalysis of the molecular reaction can be achieved by chiral nanostructures. It was suggested that through the Cu2+-mediated nanotube formation the substrate molecules could be anchored on the nanotube surfaces to produce a stereochemically favored alignment (Figure 147). Therefore, when adducts reacted with the substrate, both the enantiomeric selectivity and the reaction rate were found to increase.428

Yashima et al. synthesized a chiral polymer containing riboflavin units as the main chain (165). Within the polymers, the 5-ethylriboflavinium cations can be reversibly transformed into 4a-hydroxyriboflavins upon hydroxylation/dehydroxylation, which renders significant changes in the absorption and circular dichroism (CD) spectra of the polymers. It is believed that the face-to-face stacking of the intermolecular riboflavinium units within the polymer produced twisted helical nanostructures with supramolecular chirality. This optically active polymer containing 5-ethylriboflavinium cations was found to efficiently catalyze the asymmetric organocatalytic oxidation of sulfides with hydrogen peroxide, yielding optically active sulfoxides with up to 60% ee (Figure 150).431 DNA is a very important genetic material of living organisms. However, it can also be regarded as a very useful chiral functional polymer for different applications. As a polymer, DNA has many different molecular chiral centers and charged substituents, which can increase its solubility in water. Moreover, the folding of DNA can produce very ordered nanostructures via hydrogen bonding, which can also be modulated by changing the sequences in the DNA. It should be noted that DNA is relatively stable in comparison to other biomacromolecules, such as RNA. Therefore, developing DNA-based supramolecular chiral catalysts has recently attracted interest. The first DNA-based asymmetric catalyst containing copper ions was reported by Roelfes and Feringa. In this study, the authors synthesized an achiral ligand containing a DNAintercalating moiety (9-aminoacridine), alkyl chain spacer, and metal-binding group (166). A DNA-based asymmetric catalyst was fabricated from the coassembly of a copper(II)-enclosing ligand and DNA. In the Diels−Alder reaction, this chiral catalyst could transfer the chirality of the DNA into the products, with the an ee value up to 90% (Figure 151A).432 For many other organic chemical reactions, a DNA-based chiral catalyst containing copper(II) was also found to be very useful. For example, Roelfes et al. developed a DNA-based asymmetric catalyst containing copper(II) and an achiral ligand for catalyzing the Michael reaction in water to achieve high enantioselectivity. These reactions can be performed on a relatively large scale, allowing recycling of the supramolecular chiral catalyst. For this system, many simple achiral ligands, such

Besides catalytic nanotubes, chiral catalysis based on supramolecular nanostructures has also been observed using vesicles. Liu et al. synthesized amphiphilic molecules containing a proline headgroup (PTC12, 163). The self-assembly of PTC12 in water under compressed CO2 can produce vesicles. These assemblies were found to catalyze the asymmetric aldol reaction with high enantiomeric selectivity without any additives. Importantly, the size of the PTC12 assemblies and subsequently catalyst activity and stereoselectivity can be dynamically modulated by changing the status of the compressed CO2. Moreover, because CO2 can be easily removed from the system, it is very convenient for the separation and purification of products, as well as the reuse of the chiral supramolecular catalysts (Figure 148).429 In the development of supramolecular chiral catalysis, chiral covalent polymers, including some biomacromolecules, such as DNA and polypeptides, can be used as building blocks. The catalytic capability of these polymers may originate from the molecular chiral centers within these polymers but may also result from their folding characteristics and hierarchical nanostructures. Meijer and co-workers synthesized water-soluble segmented terpolymers containing PEG and chiral benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide side chains as well as a ruthenium complex (164). Due to the chiral self-assembly of the benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide side chains, the folding of these polymers can produce a helical structure in the apolar core around a ruthenium-based catalyst. This catalyst, resulting from the folding of polymers, was found to catalyze the transfer hydrogenation of ketones (Figure 149).430 7377

sulfones in water, high enantioselectivities with ee values of up to 84% were achieved.435 Most interestingly, use of DNA-based chiral catalysts containing copper(II) for chemical reactions in biological systems, such as enantioselective addition of water to olefins in an aqueous environment, resulted in good efficiency under the laboratory conditions. For the enantioselective hydration of enones, the chiral β-hydroxy ketone product can be obtained with an ee up to 82% upon catalysis with DNA-based assemblies (Figure 151D). Moreover, the reaction was also found to be diastereospecific, with the formation of only the syn hydration product.436 The folding of DNA can produce different nanostructures, which can also be modulated by changing the DNA sequences or other conditions for assembly. Besides double-helix DNA, telomeric G-quadruplex DNA was also studied to construct DNA-based chiral catalysts. Moses et al. constructed supramolecular chiral catalysts based on the assembly of telomeric Gquadruplex DNA, achiral ligands, and copper(II). These catalytic systems were found to catalyze Diels−Alder reactions successfully with modest enantioselectivities.437 Another class of G-quadruplex-DNA-based chiral catalysts was developed by Li and co-workers. These supramolecular chiral catalysts were constructed by self-assembly of human telomeric G4DNA and different metal ions. In this case, additional achiral ligands were not needed for building the catalysts. In an asymmetric Diels−Alder reaction, the complex of human telomeric G4DNA and Cu2+ ions provided a significant enhancement in the reaction rate with good enantioselectivity

The reactants in this study included α,βunsaturated 2-acylimidazoles working as the Michael acceptors and nitromethane and dimethyl malonate as the nucleophiles. Upon chiral catalysis by the DNA-based assemblies containing copper(II) and achiral ligand, the enantioselectivities of the Michael reaction were found to be up to 99% ee.433 Furthermore, Feringa and Roelfes also studied asymmetric Friedel−Crafts alkylation with olefins in water catalyzed by a DNA-based chiral catalyst containing copper(II). In this system, 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (dmbpy) was used as the achiral ligand for the complex with copper(II) and coassembly with DNA. For the asymmetric Friedel−Crafts reaction of α,βunsaturated 2-acylimidazoles with heteroaromatic π nucleophiles, good yields and high enantioselectivities were obtained using a very small of amount of DNA-based chiral catalysts (Figure 151C). In this study, the catalytic efficiency of both double-stranded DNA and single-stranded DNA with different sequences was investigated. The results showed that only the chiral catalysts assembled by the double-stranded DNA can introduce high enantioselectivities by catalyzing the asymmetric Friedel−Crafts alkylation. In addition, the highest enantioselectivities (up to 93%) were obtained by the supramolecular catalysts assembled using d(TCAGGGCCCTGA)2 DNA.434 A DNA-based chiral catalyst containing copper(II) and achiral ligand was also studied in the reaction of asymmetric intramolecular cyclopropanation (Figures 151−155).

(74% ee). In addition, the rate and enantioselectivity of the reaction can be modulated by changing the DNA sequence and metal ions used to form the complex. Interestingly, the absolute configuration of the products can be controlled by the assembly of chiral catalysts (Figure 152). Thus, when the conformation of the G4DNA was switched from antiparallel to parallel, the absolute configuration of the products obtained from Diels− Alder reactions could be reversed.438

For the DNA-based chiral catalysis, the relationship between the handedness of the DNA helix and the molecular chirality of products was investigated by Smietana and Arseniyadis et al. They constructed different DNA-based supramolecular chiral catalysts from the assembly of both L-DNA and D-DNA. The LDNA, which contains deoxyribose with an L-conformation, can self-assemble into left-helical nanostructures, while the folding of normal DNA only produces right-helical nanostructures. Therefore, the L-DNA-based and D-DNA-based supramolecular chiral 7379

covalent interactions between amino acids during the folding of polypeptides, which produce more flexible nanostructures. For supramolecular chiral catalysis under laboratory conditions, such complicated and often unstable nanostructures are not easy to handle. Therefore, even though nature has used enzymes for catalyzing many very subtle chemical reactions for billions of years in catalyzing chemical reactions under artificial conditions, DNA is still a better candidate. Nevertheless, polypeptide-based chiral catalysts have also been constructed recently. For example, Roelfes et al. modulated natural bovine pancreatic polypeptides with nonproteinogenic amino acids for binding Cu2+ ions. The resulting metalloenzymes catalyze Diels−Alder and Michael addition reactions in water with high enantioselectivities (Figure 155).441 Herrmann et al. developed chiral catalysts based on natural polypeptides without many chemical modifications. These polypeptides are cyclic peptides formed by intramolecular disulfide linking of cysteine residues at both ends of the peptide. The chiral catalysts were constructed by binding the cyclic peptide with Cu2+ ions. The advantage of this system is smallsequence constriction and flexibility in the amino acids of the polypeptides. In catalyzing Diels−Alder and Friedel−Crafts reactions, these cyclic-peptide-based chiral catalysts achieved high enantioselectivities of up to 99% ee and 86% ee, respectively (Figure 156). Furthermore, in this work, Herrmann et al. also

catalysts have totally different supramolecular chirality (Figure 153). In the case of Friedel−Crafts reactions and Michael additions using many different substrates, enantiomers of the products can be obtained by the catalysis of L-DNA- or D-DNAbased supramolecular chiral catalysts.439 In the construction of DNA-based chiral catalysts, even though metal ions are very important, they are not always necessary. Andréasson et al. studied the asymmetric closing reaction of dithienylethene derivatives by complexion with DNA upon photoirradiation. In this study, fluorinated dithienylethene derivatives containing methylpyridinium and methylquinolium substituents were bound to DNA in both the open and the closed forms. Cyclization of dithienylethene derivatives upon photoirradiation could produce the closed form of these molecules with significant enantioselectivity (Figure 154). In this case, chirality was transferred from the DNA to the products.440

Although the most popular natural chiral catalysts (enzymes) are polypeptides, constructing artificial enzymes via the coassembly of polypeptides with other molecules has been only partially successful. Polypeptides are generally much more complicated biomacromolecules than DNA, due to the greater array of molecular building blocks available for the formation of polypeptides and the relatively weak but complicated non-

systematically studied the relationship between amino acid sequences and the corresponding enantioselectivities of the catalytic reactions. The results show that the position of alanine within the sequences plays a very important role.442 6.4. Optics and Electronics Based on Supramolecular Chiral Assembly

Development of functional devices is one of the main objectives of research on supramolecular assembly. In the application of supramolecular chirality from self-assembled systems, chiral electronic or optical devices are also worth discussing. Recently, these issues have attracted increasing interest.443−448 Chiral optics and electronics are directly dependent on many different functions of supramolecular chiral assemblies. For example, chiral sensors can be used to construct chiral electronic devices, as shown by Wei and co-workers. They prepared ultraordered superhelical microfibers with clear screws and favorable monodispersity from chiral polyaniline (PANI). When these superhelical microfibers were treated with chiral aminohexane vapor with different handedness, very different electrical conductivity in these microfibers was detected (Figure 156).449,450

In the development of chiral electronic or optic devices, the most important aspect is the relationship between the optical/ electrical properties of the materials and the supramolecular chirality. The first important work concerning chiral optics was published by Verbiest et al. in 1998. The authors prepared LB films of helicene with different supramolecular chirality and studied the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of these LB films. The results show that the second-order NLO susceptibility of the chiral assemblies can be 30 times larger than that of the racemic material with the same chemical structure.451 Except for optical properties, the electrical properties of some supramolecular assemblies were also found to be dependent on the material’s chirality. For example, Fourmigué et al. studied the electronic conductivity of chiral salts of tetrathiafulvalene methyl−oxazoline derivatives. The results showed that the conductivity of the pure enantiomeric salts can be an order of magnitude higher than the conductivity of the racemic salts.452 Wei et al. fabricated hierarchical chiral assemblies of the conducting polyaniline (PANI) with different nanostructures and superstructures by controlling the interactions between molecules. The anisotropic electrical transport properties based on the arrangement of molecules and nanostructures were probed.453 The semiconductor properties of supramolecular assemblies has always been very interesting. Remarkably, supramolecular chirality was also found to play a very important role in this issue. Müllen et al. studied field-effect transistor devices based on the assembly of coronene (168). In this system, discotic liquid

The photocurrent properties of the supramolecular chiral assemblies formed at the air/water interface were investigated by the Liu group. They found that an anthracene derivative (AN) could be controllably assembled to nanocoils and straight nanoribbons on water surfaces depending on the different surface pressures. Most interestingly, the nanoribbons exhibited a switchable photocurrent, while the nanocoils did not show a photocurrent response (Figure 159).455 Not only can a photocurrent be generated from the chiral supramolecular assemblies, devices based on chiral supramolecular assemblies can also be used as sensors for detecting circularly polarized light. These results were reported by Fuchter and Campbell et al. In this study, they constructed organic field effect transistors from the assembly of helicene (Figure 160A), and a highly specific photoresponse to circularly polarized light was detected. Importantly, the photoresponse to circularly polarized light was found to be directly related to the handedness of the helicene molecule (Figure 160B).456 6.5.

supramolecular assemblies containing only achiral molecular building blocks via irradiation with circularly polarized light (CPL). Among the different circularly polarized light, the circularly polarized luminescence from chiral assemblies, abbreviated CPL, can be extremely important and is attracting increasing research interest. In the generation of circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from chiral supramolecular assemblies, the chiral arrangement of the luminescent chromophores is an essential prerequisite. When luminophores exist in a dissymmetric environment within the photoexcited state, circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is generated. The study of the circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) from chiral assemblies has been widely dominated by lanthanide complexes owing to their ability to exhibit high CPL dissymmetry.458,459 On the other hand, many different chiral supramolecular assemblies resulting from organic molecular building blocks have also been recently found to be very important sources for generating circularly polarized luminescence (CPL). This situation can be another important application of chiral supramolecular assemblies. The most prominent efforts are based on the π-conjugated polymers with chiral side chains or helical aggregated nanostructures that have been reported to show intense CPL signals.460−465 For example, Swager et al. synthesized chiral poly(pphenylenevinylene) derivatives and studied the circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) spectroscopy of the assemblies from this polymer. Interestingly, using the same polymer with same molecular chirality, different supramolecular assemblies were found to produce opposite CPL spectra.463

Another type of important chiral supramolecular system for generating circularly polarized luminescence is the assembly of helicenes. The aggregation of chiral helicenes was found to show large CPL dissymmetry owing to the strong helical distortion of π systems.466−469 Maeda et al. introduced the BINOL−boron moiety to dipyrrolyldiketones and fabricated the chiral conformation of π-conjugated system. The anions-triggered strong circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) was observed from these assemblies.468 In addition, Nakashima and Kawai et al. reported chiral bichromophoric perylene bisimides as active materials for circularly polarized emission. They found that the compounds formed chiral aggregates with solvent variations. A large enhancement in the dissymmetry of circularly polarized luminescence was achieved by the aggregated structures. It was further found that the spacer between the chiral center and the 7382

It was found that cell adhesion and proliferation can be influenced by the chirality of the nanofibers. Thus, the left-handed helical nanofibers increased cell adhesion and proliferation, while the right-handed nanofibers decrease cell adhesion and proliferation. The stereospecific interaction between chiral nanofibers and fibronectin plays a critical role in these effects (Figure 163).476

6.6. Biological Applications of Supramolecular Chirality

The existence of life and biological evolution directly depend on both molecular chirality and supramolecular chirality. This situation can be demonstrated from the homochirality of amino acids, nucleic acids, and many other biomolecules as well as the helical nanostructures formed by the folding of DNA and proteins. Many biomedical applications are also closely related to molecular chirality and supramolecular chirality. For example, most drugs used for clinical application are chiral molecules. In general, every aspect of biological applications is dependent on chirality. We cannot address all of these issues in this review. For a further understanding of supramolecular chirality from selfassembled systems, we will discuss some aspects of surpramolecular chirality effects on cell adhesion. Supramolecular hydrogels formed from the self-assembly of peptide derivatives or nucleic acid derivatives have been studied for different biological applications.471−473 Certainly, the chirality always plays a very important role. For example, for the hydrogels formed by short peptides, L-peptides have been found to be labile to proteases.474 Marchesan et al. recently studied the effects of amino acid chirality on tripeptide selfassembly and hydrogelation at physiological pH and cytocompatibility in fibroblast cell culture. In this study, different uncapped hydrophobic tripeptides with all combinations of Dand L-amino acids were prepared. The self-assembly and hydrogelation was found to be dependent on the chirality of the amino acids, and combinations of D, L-amino acids are very useful for maintaining the viability and proliferation of fibroblasts in vitro.475 Interestingly, the cell adhesion in the supramolecular hydrogels was found to be dependent on the handedness of the selfassembled nanofibers. Feng et al. used the two enantiomers of a

As mentioned above, the handedness of self-assembled nanostructures can influence cell proliferation. However, Zouani et al. demonstrated that helical nanostructures with the same handedness, but different shapes and periodicities show totally different capabilities for inducing human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSCs) adhesion and commitment into osteoblast lineage. In this study, mineralization of helical organic nanoribbons, which formed from the self-assembly of Gemini-type amphiphiles, could produce chiral silica nanoribbons with two different shapes and periodicities. Interestingly, helical silica nanoribbons with a specific periodicity of 63 nm (±5 nm) helped the specific cell adhesion and stem cell differentiation, while silica twists with a specific periodicity of 100 nm (±15 nm) did not (Figure 164). These results indicate that stem cells could interpret helical nanostructures with supramolecular chirality.477 Recently, Liu et al. synthesized gelators bearing amphiphilic Lglutamide and D- or L-pantolactone (abbreviated as DPLG and LPLG, 171). The self-assembly of DPLG and LPLG produced nanostructures with opposite supramolecular chirality. The ability of proteins to adhere to these nanostructures was found to be dependent on their supramolecular chirality, as demonstrated from quartz crystal microbalance measurements. Thus, the supramolecular nanostructures formed by DPLG have stronger adhesive ability to human serum albumin. Interestingly, the distinction of protein adhesion ability was only found at the supramolecular level. At the molecular level, however, no clear difference could be detected (Figure 163).478 7383

In contrast to the molecular chirality, it is still difficult to quantitatively evaluate the purity of supramolecular chirality. In a system containing chiral molecules, the main questions are do they form only one kind of supramolecular chirality or does there exist a percentage of assemblies with the opposite chirality? Occasionally, supramolecular chirality has emerged from assemblies based on achiral molecules. Even though one can observe microscopic chirality, two enantiomers coexisted. Understanding the emergence of chirality and how to evaluate the enantiomeric excess of a chiral assembly remains difficult. Supramolecular chirality is generally dynamic and strongly related to the self-assembly process. While we achieved many controls over supramolecular chirality, the characterization techniques of the dynamic processes of the chiral assemblies in particular, the development of timedependent spectroscopy and imaging technology is urgently necessary. Although we acquired much knowledge about supramolecular chirality in self-assembly systems related to intermolecular interactions, structural control, and function development, many of these are limited to one to two components. There is a lack of understanding of how to tune many different molecules into a complex chiral system in a cooperative or syndetic way as is accomplished in a living cell. Nanostructured chiral materials offer many opportunities to develop entirely new functional materials, which justifies research into supramolecular chirality. In this regard, can new catalytic, optical, opto-electrical, and magnetic materials result from work on chiral self-assembly systems? Chirality effects are fundamental to biological systems, such as different enantiomers that can be a useful drug and or poisonous depending on their chirality. How to construct the chiral/biointerface? Therefore, further efforts on supramolecular chirality research should integrate new ideas from supramolecular chemistry, biology, medical science, pharmacology, and material and nanosciences.

AUTHOR INFORMATION

7. CONCLUSIONS Chiral self-assembly from the molecular to the supramolecular level represents one of the most attractive and promising areas in supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly. The supramolecular chirality in these self-assembled systems is the expression of the noncovalent interactions between the component molecules, where chiral transfer from a chiral component to the whole assembly plays an important role. In addition, supramolecular chirality can also emerge through symmetry breaking even when only achiral molecules are involved. Due to the dynamic features of the self-assembly system, the supramolecular chirality can be regulated through the design of the chiral molecules themselves, external conditions such as pH, metal ions, photoirradiation, solvents, temperature, sonication, and so on. Different from molecular chirality, supramolecular chirality can exhibit unique properties such as the sergeant-and-soldier principle, the majority-rule principle, and chiral memories in several systems. Supramolecular chirality in self-assembled systems has been found to be useful in chiral sensing, chiral molecular recognition, and asymmetric catalysis. Some new functions such as chiroptical switching, chiroptics, and CPL have also been observed. Furthermore, chiral nanostructures showed some interesting properties when interacting with the biological systems. This review has described many examples of the emergence, regulation, and unique features or functions of the supramolecular chirality; however, there are still many unknowns related to supramolecular chirality.
