Directing chiral induction in hollow helical organic nanotubes
Abstract
a polymerization strategy from amino acid-derived monomers to probe side-chain steric effects on helical chirality. Circular dichroism revealed tunable, reversible helicity dictated by substituent bulk. This work establishes tubular oligoamides as structurally precise yet responsive foldamers, enabling controlled chiroptical activity through targeted side-chain engineering.
