Wet-chemical synthesis of chiral colloids Ouhajji, Samia van Ravensteijn, Bas G. P. Fernández-Rico, Carla Lacina, Kanvaly S. Philipse, Albert P. Petukhov, Andrei V. ddc:540 We disclose a method for the synthesis of chiral colloids from spontaneously formed hollow sugar-surfactant microtubes with internally confined mobile colloidal spheres. Key feature of our approach is the grafting of colloid surfaces with photoresponsive coumarin moieties, which allow for UV-induced, covalent clicking of colloids into permanent chains, with morphologies set by the colloid-to-tube diameter ratio. Subsequent dissolution of tube confinement yields aqueous suspensions that comprise bulk quantities of a variety of linear chains, including single helical chains of polystyrene colloids. These colloidal equivalents of chiral (DNA) molecules are intended for microscopic study of chiral dynamics on a single-particle level.
