Journal ArticleDOI

Selection of supramolecular chirality by application of rotational and magnetic forces

TL;DR: This result shows that an almost instantaneous chiral perturbation can be transferred and amplified in growing supramolecular self-assemblies, and provides evidence that a falsely chiral influence is able to induce absolute enantioselection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mesoscopic Structure of meso-Tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine J-Aggregates

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of elastic (ELS) and dynamic (DLS) light scattering techniques was used for the analysis of porphyrin meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine (H2TPPS44-) aggregates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Design principles of chiral carbon nanodots help convey chirality from molecular to nanoscale level.

TL;DR: It is shown that chiral carbon nanoparticles, called carbon nanodots, can be readily prepared using hydrothermal microwave-assisted synthesis and easily purified and used as templates for the formation of chiral supramolecular porphyrin assemblies, showing that it is possible to use and transfer the chiral information.
Journal ArticleDOI

From achiral porphyrins to template-imprinted chiral aggregates and further. Self-replication of chiral memory from scratch.

TL;DR: The presence of 10-13 M of chiral clusters of aromatic amino acids addresses aggregation of opposite-charged achiral porphyrin towards the formation of smart chiral assemblies in supramolecular complexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

SERS detection of Biomolecules at Physiological pH via aggregation of Gold Nanorods mediated by Optical Forces and Plasmonic Heating.

TL;DR: A novel scheme that exploits the radiation pressure to locally push gold nanorods and induce their aggregation in buffered solutions of biomolecules, achieving biomolecular SERS detection at almost neutral pH is reported.
