Photocontrolled chiroptical switch based on the self-assembly of azobenzene-bridged bis-tryptophan enantiomers
JOURNAL OF COLLOID AND INTERFACE SCIENCE(2024)
摘要
Chirality dynamic tuning plays fundamental roles in chemistry, material science and biological system. Herein, a pair of azobenzene-bridged bis-tryptophan enantiomers (Azo-di-D/L-Trp) were designed and synthesized via simple reactions. With the fuel of glucono-delta-lactone (GdL), releasing protons during its hydrolysis, the alkaline solution of Azo-di-D/L-Trp gradually self-assembled into contrast chiral helical structures and displayed magnitude and mirror image of circular dichroism (CD) signals. While the chiral helices converted to CD silent nanoparticles when the azobenzene moiety isomerized from trans- to cis-form under UV irradiation. More importantly, this chiroptical switch, displaying reversible interconversion between chiral amplification and silent, can be smartly controlled via photoirradiation at various wavelengths.
