Anthracenemethyl Glycosides as Supramolecular Synthons for Chiral Self-Assembly and as Probes in Cell Imaging.

ABSTRACT: Chiral self-assembly of molecules warrants optimal structural features of synthons that promote formation of such self-assembled structures. A polyaromatic moiety coupled with hydrophilic, chiral-rich carbohydrates leads to segmentation of the regions and the self-assembly to supramolecular structures. Thermodynamic stability is augmented further through chiral self-assembly of the molecules, and formation of the desired chiral supramolecular structures is achieved. In the present study, we develop anthracene glycosides as efficient synthons that, in aqueous solutions, undergo facile self-assembly and lead to chiral supramolecular structures. Anthracenemethyl O-glycosides, installed with mono- and disaccharides, are studied for their self-assembly properties. Emerging chiral structu
