Self-assembling naphthalenediimide (NDI)-based helical organic nanotubes display sergeants-and-soldiers behaviour, chiral monomers imposing a supramolecular structure upon achiral monomers. Several achiral NDI monomers were synthesised and their ability to incorporate into supramolecular nanotubes was studied. Nanotubes containing predominantly the most effective soldier, derived from 1-aminocyclopropane-carboxylic acid, are effective hosts for C(60).
自组装萘二酰亚胺(NDI)基螺旋有机纳米管表现出“兵和将”行为,手性单体对手性单体施加超分子结构。合成了几种非手性 NDI 单体,并研究了它们掺入超分子纳米管的能力。主要含有最有效“士兵”的纳米管,来源于 1-氨基环丙烷羧酸,是 C(60)的有效主体。
