Article Abstract
Upon development of a workflow to analyze (±)-Verapamil and its metabolites using differential mobility spectrometry (DMS), we noticed that the ionogram of protonated Verapamil consisted of two peaks. This was inconsistent with its metabolites, as each exhibited only a single peak in the respective ionograms. The unique behaviour of Verapamil was attributed to protonation at its tertiary amino moiety, which generated a stereogenic quaternary amine. The introduction of additional chirality upon N-protonation of Verapamil renders four possible stereochemical configurations for the protonated ion: (R,R), (S,S), (R,S), or (S,R). The (R,R)/(S,S) and (R,S)/(S,R) enantiomeric pairs are diastereomeric and thus exhibit unique conformations that are resolvable by linear and differential ion mobility techniques. Protonation-induced chirality appears to be a general phenomenon, as N-protonation of 12 additional chiral amines generated diastereomers that were readily resolved by DMS.

Achieving simultaneous symmetry breaking and fluorescence switching in self-assembled systems through external stimuli remains challenging. In this work, we designed two achiral C3-symmetric molecules (BTCNPh and BTCNPy) containing three cyanostilbene units connected through amide bonds, terminated with phenyl or pyridyl groups respectively. Both molecules exhibited cyan fluorescence in DMSO/HO mixtures without circular dichroism (CD) signals.

Flexible organic crystals, capable of transmitting light and responding to various external stimuli, are emerging as a new frontier in optoelectronic materials. They hold immense potential for applications in molecular machines, sensors, displays, and intelligent devices. Here, we report on flexible organic crystals based on single-component enantiomeric organic compounds, demonstrating multi-stimuli-responsive circularly polarized light (CPL).

This study presents the pathway diversity in the self-assembly of enantiomeric single phenylalanine derived amphiphiles (single F-PDAs), L-NapF-EDA and D-NapF-EDA, that form supramolecular hydrogels at varied concentrations (≥1 mg mL and ≥3 mg mL, respectively). By fitting the variable temperature circular dichroism (VT-CD) data to the isodesmic model, various thermodynamic parameters associated with their self-assembly, such as association constant (), changes in enthalpy (Δ), entropy (Δ), and Gibbs free energy (Δ), were extracted. The self-assembly of these single F-PDAs was found to be enthalpy-driven but entropically-disfavored.

Despite significant achievements in the field of chiroptical organic materials, the full utilization of both the excited state and ground state chiroptical properties in a single supramolecular system is still rarely disclosed. Here, we report that the rational combination of the charge-transfer (CT) interaction with the spacer effect and controlled protonation of π-histidine leads to chiroptical organic π-materials with both circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and the supramolecular chirality-directed chiroptical photothermic effect. Three pyrene-conjugated histidine derivatives with varied acyl linkers (PyHis, PyC1His, and PyC3His) were designed to coassemble with electron-deficient 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB), leading to the formation of supramolecular CT complexes with intense orange to red CPL depending on the linker length.
