The chemical, physical and biological effects of chiral nanomaterials have inspired general interest and demonstrated important advantages in fundamental science. Here, chiral iron oxide supraparticles (Fe3O4 SPs) modified by chiral penicillamine (Pen) molecules with g‐factor of ≈2 × 10−3 at 415 nm are fabricated, and these SPs act as high‐quality magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents....
Chiral Structures
Carbohydrates have been known as chiral molecules and shown promises to the future applications based on their unique structures. By using carbohydrate as building blocks, versatile chiral superstructures can be fabricated and tuned via self‐assembly processes. More details can be found in article number 2208286 by Kai Zhang and co‐workers.
Carbohydrates have been regarded as one of the most ideally suited candidates for chirality study via self‐assembly owning to their unique chemical structures, abundance, and sustainability. Much efforts have been devoted to design and synthesize diverse carbohydrate derivatives and self‐assemble them into various supermolecular morphologies. Nevertheless, still inadequate attention is paid to deeply...
