Stereoisomeric β-cyclodextrin (CD) dimers linked with a sulfur atom or an arene spacer were designed to create tethered dual CD capsule for precisely manipulating the regio- and enantioselectivities of photocyclodimerization 2-anthracenecarboxylate (AC) four stereoisomeric classical 9,10:9',10'-cyclodimers two nonclassical 5,8:9',10'-cyclodimers. Among dimeric hosts prepared, exo-3-thia-β-CD dimer formed 1:1 1:2 host-guest complexes AC in aqueous solutions, former which hindered but latter...
Complexation of achiral pillar[5]arenes with chiral amines induced strong circular dichroism (CD) signals. The CD responses differed drastically depending on the nature amino acid guest, and they significantly varied part them even inverted, upon increasing length alkyl chains guests. Accordingly, this tactic allowed for unprecedented simultaneous enantiomeric structural differentiation α-amino esters homologous molecular hosts.
Self-inhibition has been observed widely in hierarchical biochemical processes but yet to be demonstrated pure molecular physical rather than chemical or biological processes. Herein, we report an unprecedented example of self-inhibition during the supramolecular chirality induction, memory, erasure, and inversion pillar[5]arene (P[5]) derivatives. The addition chiral alanine ethyl ester bulky substituent-modified P[5]s led time-dependent induction due shift equilibrium SP RP conformers...

ConspectusStereochemical control of excited-state asymmetric photoreactions has been one the most challenging topics modern photochemistry. The short-lived character electronically excited photosubstrates and their low activation energy barriers to form both enantiomers are major obstacles achieving significant enantioselectivity in Recent research demonstrated that supramolecular strategy is promising stereochemical outcome photoreaction through relatively strong long-lasting noncovalent...

Singlet chiral photocatalysis is highly challenging. Herein, we report fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based with γ-cyclodextrin (CD)-grafted lanthanide-doped upconverted nanoparticles (UCNP). The CD-modified UCNP strongly emits in the UV wavelength region upon excitation a 980 nm laser, which selectively sensitizes photosubstrates complexed by CD on surface of through FRET. Therefore, enantiodifferentiating photocyclodimerization anthracene or naphthalene derivatives...
