In biological systems, chiral self-assemblies are formed in water. To understand the role of water in the formation of supramolecular chirality, an amino acid derivative, N,N-diphenylalanine-3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylicdiimide (PBI-Phe), was synthesized from perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic dianhydride and phenylalanine. PBI-Phe self-assembled into a spherical structure in pure DMSO, but into a helical fiber structure in a solution of DMSO mixed with water. Furthermore, increasing the relative amount of water included in the solution led to an increase the supramolecular chirality.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
