Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2024; 63:e202403313. [PMID: 38742679 DOI: 10.1002/anie.202403313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2024] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/14/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
Nanostructuration of dynamic helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) depends on the secondary structure adopted by the polymer and the functional group used to connect the chiral pendant to the PPA backbone. Thus, while PPAs with dynamic and flexible scaffolds (para- and meta-substituted, ω1<165°) generate by nanoprecipitation low polydisperse nanospheres with controllable size at different acetone/water mixtures, those with a quasi-static behavior and the presence of an extended, almost planar structure (ortho-substituted, ω1>165°), aggregate into a mixture of spherical and oval nanostructures whose size is not controlled. Photostability studies show that poly(phenylacetylene) particles are more stable to light irradiation than when dissolved macromolecularly. Moreover, the photostability of the particle depends on the secondary structure of the PPA and its screw sense excess. This fact, in combination with the encapsulation ability of these polymer particles, allows the creation of light stimuli-responsive nanocarriers, whose cargo can be delivered by light irradiation.

Abstract
Supramolecular and covalent polymers share multiple structural effects such as chiral amplification, helical inversion, sergeants and soldiers, or majority rules, among others. These features are related to the axial helical structure found in both types of materials, which are responsible for their properties. Herein a novel material combining information and characteristics from both fields of helical polymers, supramolecular (oligo(p-phenyleneethynylene) (OPE)) and covalent (poly(acetylene) (PA)), is presented. To achieve this goal, the poly(acetylene) must adopt a dihedral angle between conjugated double bonds (ω1) higher than 165°. In such cases, the tilting degree (Θ) between the OPE units used as pendant groups is close to 11°, like that observed in supramolecular helical arrays of these molecules. Polymerization of oligo[(p-phenyleneethynylene)n]phenylacetylene monomers (n = 1, 2) bearing L-decyl alaninate as the pendant group yielded the desired scaffolds. These polymers adopt a stretched and almost planar polyene helix, where the OPE units are arranged describing a helical structure. As a result, a novel multihelix material was prepared, the ECD spectra of which are dominated by the OPE axial array.

Abstract
The helical sense control of dynamic helical polymers such as poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) is greatly affected when they are conjugated to AuNPs through a strong thiol-Au connection, which restricts conformational changes at the polymer. Thus, the classical thiol-MNP bonds must be replaced by weaker ones, such as supramolecular amide-Au interactions. A straightforward preparation of the PPA-Au nanocomposite by reduction of a preformed PPA-Au3+ complex cannot be used due to a redox reaction between the two components of the complex which degrades the polymer. To avoid the interaction between the PPA and the Au3+ ions before the reduction takes place, the metal ions are added to the polymer solution capped as a TOAB complex, which keeps the PPA stable due to the lack of PPA-Au3+ interactions. Ulterior reduction of the Au3+ ions by NaBH4 affords the desired nanocomposite, where the AuNPs are stabilized by supramolecular anilide-AuNPs interactions. By using this approach, 3.7 nm gold nanoparticles are generated and aligned along the polymer chain with a regular distance between particles of 6 nm that corresponds to two helical pitches. These nanocomposites show stimuli-responsive properties and are also able to form macroscopically chiral nanospheres with tunable size.

Abstract
Helices are the most prevalent secondary structure in biomolecules and play vital roles in their activity. Chemists have been fascinated with mimicking this molecular conformation with synthetic materials. Research has now been devoted to the synthesis and characterization of helical materials, and to understand the design principles behind this molecular architecture. In parallel, work has been done to develop synthetic polymers for biological and medical applications. We now have access to materials with controlled size, molecular conformation, multivalency or functionality. As a result, synthetic polymers are being investigated in areas such as drug and gene delivery, tissue engineering, imaging and sensing, or as polymer therapeutics. Here, we provide a critical view of where these two fields, helical polymers and polymers for biological and medical applications, overlap. We have selected relevant polymer families and examples to illustrate the range of applications that can be targeted and the impact of the helical conformation on the performance. For each family of polymers, we briefly describe how they can be prepared, what helical conformations are observed and what parameters control helicity. We close this Review with an outlook of the challenges ahead, including the characterization of helicity through the process and the identification of biocompatibility.

Abstract
Chirality is ubiquitous in nature and closely related to the pharmacological effects of chiral drugs. Therefore, chiral recognition of molecular enantiomers becomes an important research theme. Fluorescence detection is highly sensitive and fast but has achieved only limited success in enantiomeric detection due to the lack of powerful chiral fluorescence detection materials. In this paper, a novel chiral fluorescent probe material, i.e. a chiral fluorescent nanofiber membrane, is prepared from chiral helical substituted polyacetylene by the electrospinning technique. The SEM images demonstrate the success in fabricating continuous, uniform nanofibers with a diameter of about 100 nm. Circular dichroism spectra show that the nanofibers exhibit fascinating optical activity. One of the enantiomeric chiral fluorescent membranes has chiral fluorescence recognition effects towards alanine and chiral phenylethylamine, while the other enantiomeric membrane does not. The prepared chiral fluorescent nano-materials are expected to find various applications in chirality-related fields due to their advantages such as chirality, fluorescence, and a high specific surface area. The established preparation approach also promises a potent and versatile platform for developing advanced nanofiber materials from conjugated polymers.

Abstract
Polymer Janus particles (PJPs) have been extensively investigated due to their intriguing features which cannot be achieved in traditional counterparts. Chiral polymer particles also have constituted a unique research area in polymer science. However, how to construct PJPs derived from chiral polymers, especially chiral helical polymers, still remains a significant academic challenge. This contribution reports the first success in preparing optically active PJPs constructed by chiral helical substituted polyacetylene via emulsion polymerization combined with solvent evaporation to induce phase separation. In emulsion polymerization systems, polymethyl methacrylate worked as a template and separated from polyacetylene domains in the course of acetylenic monomers' polymerization and evaporation of the solvent, by which optically active PJPs were formed. The major influencing factors were explored to elucidate their effects on the formation and morphology of PJPs. Mushroom- and bowl-like PJPs were obtained. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images ascertain nonspherical morphologies of the obtained PJPs. Circular dichroism and UV-vis absorption spectra demonstrate their optical activity, which originated in the predominantly one-handed helical polyacetylene chains constructing the PJPs. A formation mechanism was then proposed for understanding this unprecedented type of PJPs.

Abstract
Chirality and chiral materials demonstrate ever-growing importance. As a new type of chiral material, chiral polymer particles hold huge potential in both scientific research and practical applications. Meanwhile, nonspherical polymer particles (NPPs) have witnessed substantial progress in recent years because of their unique structures and especially the properties distinguishable from the corresponding spherical particles. We hypothesize that combining chirality with NPPs will open up an unprecedented category of advanced materials. The present contribution reports the first protocol for preparing electrosprayed nonspherical chiral particles constructed from chiral helical polymers, using helical substituted polyacetylenes as the model. SEM images demonstrate the successful fabrication of nonspherical chiral particles with tunable morphologies (bowl-, golf- and apple-like particles). Circular dichroism (CD) measurement proves the remarkable optical activity of the particles, which is observed in the predominantly one-handed helical polymer chains. The present work establishes a novel, versatile, and powerful platform for preparing nonspherical chiral polymer particles with controllable morphology.

Abstract
Chiral self-assembled organic nanoparticles with circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) properties can be utilized as a new kind of chiral luminescent materials for practical applications. However, no such chiral organic nanoparticles with full-color and white CPL properties have been reported so far. Herein, five pairs of self-assembled chiral nanoparticles based on optically stable helical aromatic amide enantiomers were conveniently obtained. The chiral nanoparticles showed about 200 nm uniform sphere, high fluorescence quantum yields, and large Stokes shifts. Especially, the chiral nanoparticles exhibited both obvious mirror-image circular dichroism signals and full-color CPL properties with luminescence dissymmetry factors of about 10-3, which were comparable to those of CPL-active quantum dots. Moreover, the chiral organic nanoparticles with white CPL could also be easily achieved using the three-primary-color enantiomers via intermolecular energy resonance transfer.

The great importance of the secondary structure (compressed/stretched) of helical poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) in the formation of nanostructures (nanospheres and nanotoroids) by complexation with metal ions of diverse valences is demonstrated. PPAs bearing the same chelating units [anilide of (R)-methoxyphenylacetic acid] but displaying different helical scaffolds show great differences in their nanostructuration due to the different secondary structures of their helices despite the analogous ways in which their mono- and divalent metal ions form complexes. This key 3-D structural feature has not been taken into account previously when studying the nanostructuration of helical polymer-metal complexes (HPMCs).
