Controlling Ultra-Large Optical Asymmetry in Amorphous Molecular Aggregations

Bin Wu et al.

Summary: This study reports quantitative control of chiral amplification in amorphous supramolecular structures, achieving exceptionally high levels of chirality. Proper chiral packing significantly contributes to absorptive dissymmetry factor g(abs) in an overall disordered system. The intense and tunable aggregation strength results in variable chiropticity values, allowing for superior ON-OFF switching under external stimuli.

A catalysis-driven artificial molecular pump

Shuntaro Amano et al.

Summary: This study introduces an autonomous chemically fueled information ratchet that continuously pumps crown ether macrocycles from bulk solution onto a molecular axle without the need for further intervention. By tuning the dynamics of the processes, the molecular machine is able to move macrocycles from their lowest energy state in the solution to a higher energy state on the axle, maintaining out-of-equilibrium [n]rotaxanes as long as unreacted fuel is present.
