Résumé

Because the combination of chiral and magnetic properties is becoming more and more attractive for magneto-chiral phenomena, we here aim at exploring the induction of chirality to achiral magnetic molecules as a strategy for the preparation of magneto-chiral objects. To this end, we have associated free base- and metallo-porphyrins with silica nano helices, using a variety of elaboration methods, and have studied them mainly by electronic natural circular dichroism (NCD) and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopies. While electrostatic or covalent surface grafting uniformly yielded very low induced CD (ICD) for the four assayed porphyrins, a moderate response was observed when the porphyrins were incorporated into the interior of the double-walled helices, likely due to the association of the molecules with the chirally-organized gemini surfactant. A generally stronger, but more variable, ICD was observed when the molecules were drop casted onto the helices immobilised on a quartz plate, likely due to the different capacities of the porphyrins to aggregate into chiral assemblies. Electronic spectroscopy, electron microscopy and IR spectroscopy were used to interpret the patterns of aggregation and their influence on ICD and MCD. No enhancement of MCD was observed as a result of association with the nanohelices except in the case of the free base, 5,10,15,20-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS). This nanocomposite demonstrated a large ICD in the Soret region and a large MCD in the Q-region due to J-aggregation. However, no induced MChD was observed, possibly due to the spectral mismatch between the ICD and MCD peaks.
