Kinetic Controlled Chirality Transfer and Induction in 2D Hydrogen‐Bonding Assemblies of Glycylglycine on Au(111) (Small 17/2023)

Abstract

Kinetic Controlled Chirality Transfer and Induction Two-dimensional hydrogen-bonding assemblies with different chirality, e.g. achiral, homochiral and racemic, are synthesized on Au(111) surface by using achiral glycylglycine, one of the simplest polypeptides, as the building blocks. Chirality induction and related symmetry broken in assemblies are introduced by the handedness of the assembled motifs and then amplified to the entire assemblies via the interaction between motifs.
