Philipse author Andrei V. Petukhov author 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.
