Helicates are a defining element of DNAs and proteins, with functions that critical to variety biological processes. Cyclodextrins promising candidates for forging multiple-stranded helicates well-defined helicity, but lack available tools has precluded the construction artificial helical nanochannels controllable geometry helicity from these widely chiral building blocks. Herein, we disclose family Ag6L2 can be readily assembled α-cyclodextrin-derived ligands through coordination between pyridinyl groups Ag+ cations. We discovered exhibit either an M or P when cations adopt tetrahedral while losing most their linearly coordinated. Both precisely controlled by simply changing number methyl at ortho positions ligands. The tetracoordinated interconnect into infinite two-dimensional coordinative network characterized hexagonal tessellation. Theoretical calculations, which reveal lower energies conformations observed in crystals compared those inverted counterparts, support experimental results.

The electrochemistry recognition of enantiomeric chiral molecules holds great significance for the pharmaceutical industry and scientific research. However, enhancing sensitivity selectivity simultaneously, elucidating mechanism, are two primary challenges. Here, an electrochemical sensor L-C4-PMoV/GO is developed by confining imidazole cations (L-C4) [PMo10V2]5- (PMoV) signal anions within interlayer graphene oxide (GO). highly sensitive to towards drug Levodopa (L-DOPA), which exhibits 16 times higher than L-C4/GO. In addition, enantioselectivity ΔS = 19.92 achieved. Mechanism studies suggest that confinement effect plays a crucial role in synergism between site PMoV L-C4. chiral-confined microenvironment, induction from L-C4 facilitated, results distortion Mo (V)─O bonds. hydrogen-bonding networks among L-C4, (V)─O, DOPA generate adsorption energy difference L/D-DOPA, as revealed situ Raman spectroscopy theoretical calculation.
