超分子自组装体系中基于手性传递的不对称催化及基于能量传递的光催化研究具有重要意义，但是将手性和能量传递集成到一个体系中进行协同催化的报道仍然较少。本项目以两亲类氨基酸衍生物为手性凝胶因子，通过与非手性受体共组装构筑二组分凝胶，重点研究具有手性和能量传递性质的超分子凝胶在协同催化方面的应用，具体内容包括：（1）优化凝胶因子结构与组装条件构筑二组分凝胶，利用多种表征研究手性和能量协同传递过程；（2）调控给体受体之间的作用力类型（如氢键、静电吸引及排斥作用等）和组装条件参数，提高协同传递效率；（3）重点研究具有手性和能量协同传递的二组分凝胶在不对称光催化方面的应用（如自然光下芳香硫醚的氧化反应等），探究协同催化反应机理。本项目在构筑及调控手性和能量协同传递的二组分凝胶基础上，实现协同的不对称光催化，为新型超分子催化体系及手性光电材料的构建提供重要的基础实验数据和理论支撑。

The application of asymmetric catalysis and photocatalysis of supramolecular self-assembly system based on chirality or energy transfer respectively is of great significance, however, the integration of chiral and energy transfer into a system for concerted catalysis was seldom reported. This project will focus on the application of asymmetric photocatalysis in synergistic transfer system based on the fabrication and regulation of the binary supramolecular gel system which containing chiral donor gelator and achiral acceptor, in which the chiral gelator was the derivative of amino acid. Among the gel system, the following items will be conducted. First, we will optimize the gelator structure and the assembly conditions to fabricate the binary supramolecular gel system, the synergistic transfer of both chirality and energy will be characterized. Second, by regulating the intermolecular interaction between the donor and acceptor such as hydrogen bond, electrostatic attraction or repulsion and the assembly condition, we will improve the transfer efficiency. Finally, and the most importantly, by the synergy of chirality and energy transfer, the asymmetric photocatalytic reaction under sunlight in binary gels will be conducted such as the oxidation of aromatic sulfide under air condition. In this project, the concerted asymmetric photocatalysis will be realized based on the fabrication and regulation of synergistic chirality and energy transfer in the binary gel system, thus provides experimental data and theoretical support to the development of new supramolecular catalysis system and functional materials such as chiroptical devices.
