A Photoinduced Reversible Phase Transition in a Dipeptide Supramolecular Assembly
Abstract
Abstract
Tunable supramolecular assembly has found various applications in biomedicine, molecular catalysis, optoelectronics, and nanofabrication. Unlike traditional covalent conjugation, non‐covalent introduction of a photoswitchable moiety enables reversible photomodulation of non‐photosensitive dipeptide supramolecular assembly. Under light illumination, a long‐lived photoacid generator releases a proton and mediates the dissociation of dipeptide‐based organogel, thereby resulting in sol formation. Under darkness, the photoswitchable moiety entraps a proton, resulting in gel regeneration. Furthermore, accompanying the isothermal recycled gel–sol transition in a spatially controlled manner, renewable patterns are spontaneously fabricated. This new concept of light‐controlled phase transition of amino acid‐based supramolecular assemblies will open up the possibility of wide applications.
