Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Helices are present in the most important biomolecules (i.e., RNA, DNA). Helices are formed in biology and the laboratory using subunits with information encoded based on molecular recognition. The production of abiotic helical structures is an ongoing goal in synthetic and materials chemistry and has involved the development of organic and metal-organic materials that rely on complementarity of noncovalent forces (e.g. hydrogen bonds, coordination bonds) for helix formation. Herein, we describe a series of supramolecular isomers of three hydrogen-bonded organic cocrystals involving components that self-assemble and show progression at the structural level from a zig-zag chain to a double helix and to a quadruple helix. The isomers constitute a form of trimorphism involving a binary cocrystal system and we show that the polymeric structures can be interconverted through solvent-mediated phase transformations. We demonstrate the cocrystal involving the double helix to possess components that undergo an intermolecular [2 + 2] photodimerization in the crystalline state. Helical structures are fundamental in biomolecules like RNA and DNA, yet creating abiotic helices remains a challenge in synthetic chemistry. The authors present hydrogen-bonded organic cocrystals with zig-zag chain, double-, and quadruple helical structures that are related as polymorphs.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
