The achiral beta-alanine self organizes into supramolecular helical chains in crystallized achiral beta-alaninium inorganic/organic acid compounds

摘要

Helical structures play essential roles in biological systems and the potential physical and chemical properties. The single-stranded and double-stranded supramolecular helical chains are found in six achiral beta-alanine-inorganic-acid (beta-AIA) compounds and one achiral beta-alanine-organic-acid (beta-AOA) compound. The supramolecular helical models of those beta-alanine-acid compounds are classified into four types. And, the law of supramolecular assembly of helical chains in beta-alanine-acid compounds is also summarized. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
