Abstract
AbstractHere, we show that aqueous dispersions of inorganic nanoparticles bearing negative surface charges would trigger the chiral assembly of organic radical cations solubilized in organic solvent at the liquid–liquid interface, which consequently produces stable droplets covered by a layer of inorganic/organic chiral nanocomposites. We demonstrate that chirality transfer across the liquid–liquid interface from the chiral organic monomers to the nanoparticle assemblies is realized. Surprisingly, opposite handedness between molecular assemblies and nanoparticle assemblies is determined from both CD and CPL measurements. Moreover, the functionalities of these “chiral” droplets could be further engineered through either a simple mixing or a droplet merging strategy, which enables to produce fluorescent emissive‐tunable, magnetic, as well as magnetofluorescent dual‐functional droplets.
