Abstract

A tristerephthalamide host exhibited two helical geometries with (M)- and (P)-helicity, respectively, in terms of the twisting direction of a two-layer structure, and the helical preference switched upon complexation with a ditopic guest. In both uncomplexed and complexed states, the intramolecular transmission of chirality was responsible for the control of helicity.

Highlights

  • Complexation-induced inversion of helicity by an organic guest in a dynamic molecular propeller based on a tristerephthalamide host with a two-layer structure†

  • A tristerephthalamide host exhibited two helical geometries with (M)- and (P)-helicity, respectively, in terms of the twisting direction of a two-layer structure, and the helical preference switched upon complexation with a ditopic guest

  • We used a dynamic molecular propeller to study the inversion of helicity accompanied by a change in conformation upon complexation with a guest, and designed tristerephthalamide hosts 1 with a two-layer structure (Fig. 1)

Summary

Introduction

Complexation-induced inversion of helicity by an organic guest in a dynamic molecular propeller based on a tristerephthalamide host with a two-layer structure. A preference for a particular sense of dynamic helicity in a state is switched in the other state, accompanied by a change in conformation from a nonpropeller form to a propeller form.
