Fig. 1 Chemical structures of the BIC derivatives and 1-octanol analogs. To abbreviate a 1-octanol analog, letter “S” or “R” and a number are used to represent the spatial configuration and the position of the chiral center, respectively, and letter O represents octanol. Similarly, to abbreviate a BIC analog, one letter S or R symbolizes an S-type or R-type chiral center at one side chain.
Fig. 2 Enantiomorphous honeycomb networks of the BIC-C7/1-octanol coassembly. High-resolution STM images of (A) the CW network and (B) the CCW network in the BIC-C7/1-octanol coassembly. I = 0.500 nA and Vbias = 0.900 V. (C) Formation of the enantiomorphous networks in the BIC-C7/1-octanol coassembly. The thick blue sticks, thin blue sticks, and yellow sticks represent the backbones of BIC-C7, side chains of BIC-C7, and 1-octanol molecules, respectively. The blue arrows indicate the chirality of the networks.
Fig. 3 Chiral induction triggered by (S)-6O in the 2D assembly of BIC-C7. (A) High-resolution STM image of the BIC-C7/(S)-6O coassembly. I = 0.400 nA and Vbias = 0.900 V. (B) Calculated molecular model of the trimeric unit in the BIC-C7/(S)-6O assembly. The red dot marks the (S)-type chiral center in (S)-6O. (C) Chiral coadsorber-induced chirality in the BIC-C7/(S)-6O assembly. The thick blue sticks, thin blue sticks, and red sticks represent the backbones of BIC-C7, side chains of BIC-C7, and coadsorbed (S)-6O molecules, respectively. (D) Plot of the coverage of the CW network in the assembly (RCW, estimated based on the number of domains) versus the fraction of (S)-6O in a mixed solution of (S)-6O and 1-octanol.
Fig. 4 Intrinsic molecular chirality induced the 2D molecular assembly. (A) High-resolution STM image of the (R)-BIC-C7/1-octanol assembly. I = 0.400 nA and Vbias = 0.900 V. (B) Calculated molecular model of the CCW trimer unit in the (R)-BIC-C7/1-octanol coassembly. The green dot marks the (R)-type chiral center in (R)-BIC-C7. (C) Formation of CCW trimer in the (R)-BIC-C7/1-octanol coassembly. The thick blue sticks, thin blue sticks, and green sticks represent the backbones, achiral side chains, and side chains with a chiral center of (R)-BIC-C7, respectively. The yellow sticks represent the coadsorbed 1-octanol molecules. (D) Plot of the coverage of the CW network in the ((S)-BIC-C7 + BIC-C7)/1-octanol assembly (RCW, estimated based on the number of domains) versus the fraction of (S)-BIC-C7 (compared to the total content of BIC analogs) in the solution.
Fig. 5 Chiral competitive coassembly of (R)-BIC-C7 and (S)-6O. (A) High-resolution STM image of the CW network in the (R)-BIC-C7/(S)-6O coassembly. I = 0.400 nA and Vbias = 0.900 V. (B) Formation of the CW trimeric unit in the (R)-BIC-C7/(S)-6O coassembly. The thick blue sticks, thin blue sticks, and green sticks represent the backbones, achiral side chains, and side chains with an (R)-type chiral center of (R)-BIC-C7, respectively. The red sticks represent the coadsorbed (S)-6O. (C) Plot of the coverage of the CW honeycomb network in the assembly (RCW, estimated based on the number of domains) versus the fraction of (S)-6O (black line) or (R)-6O (red line) in the solution. (D) Calculated molecular model of the CW trimeric unit in the (R)-BIC-C7/(S)-6O assembly. The green and red dots mark the (R)-type and (S)-type chiral centers, respectively.
