要旨

The molecular origin of the isotope-induced diastereomeric enrichment in helical supramolecular polymers consisting of trialkylbenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamides (BTAs) is studied using plane-wave DFT calculations. We demonstrate that the creation of a chiral center at the α-position of the alkyl chains of a BTA by H–D exchange leads to a small but notable preference for the formation of supramolecular hydrogen bonded structures with a particular helicity. The bias for one helical sense preference is caused by the orientation of the vibrational eigenmodes of the C–H and C–D stretching frequencies at the chiral center and by hyperconjugative destabilization of the anti C–H orbital.

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.
