Abstract
Chiral surfactants present opportunities to self-assemble into supramolecules with a chiral trait; however, the effects of stereochemistry on the formation of simple coacervates remain unclear. Here, we investigate the chirality-selected phase behavior in mixtures of chiral gemini surfactant 1,4-bis(dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonium bromide)-2,3-butanediol (12-4(OH)2-12) with an oppositely charged chiral mandelic acid (MA). It demonstrates that altering the chirality of surfactants yields a heightened ability to regulate the phase behavior, leading to the formation of three different network-like structures, i.e., wormlike micelle, coacervate, and hydrogel, in the racemate, enantiomer, and mesomer, respectively. The different aggregate structures arise from the intermolecular and intramolecular hydrogen-bond interactions of the two hydroxyl groups located at stereogenic centers. Intriguingly, although they contain similar microstructures, the solid-like hydrogel and liquid-like wormlike micelle show similar low hydration ability and have no encapsulation capability, whereas only coacervate formed by the enantiomers of 12-4(OH)2-12 displays liquid-like characteristics, strong capacity to sequester diverse solutes, and high affinity for tightly bound water simultaneously. These findings further highlight the unique and advantageous properties of coacervates as a promising model for exploring the biological process and understanding how chirality plays a crucial role in early life scenarios and cell evolution at the molecular level.

Abstract
Chirality generation and transfer is not only of critical importance in resolving the origin of biological homochirality, but also is of great significance for exploring the chirality-related functionalities in nanomaterials and supramolecular systems. Although modulating the ground state chirality in chiral nanomaterials has been widely demonstrated, it remains a big challenge to steer the excited state chirality (circularly polarized luminescence, CPL). Herein, we present a kind of chiral spherical micelles constructed by chiral cationic gemini surfactants, whose surfaces and cavities could co-assemble with hydrophilic and hydrophobic emitters concurrently. Subsequently, the hydrophilic and hydrophobic emitters could be endowed with CPL activity in the aqueous phase. Additionally, the cavities of such micelles can be regarded as the powerful chiral confined space, which could effectively modulate the excited state chirality of dynamic chemical reactions, enabling color-adjustable CPL emission.

Abstract
Chiral cationic gemini surfactants 1,4-bis(dodecyl- N, N-dimethylammonium bromide)-2,3-butanediol (12-4(OH)2-12) including racemate, mesomer, and two enantiomers were synthesized and their self-assembly in aqueous solution has been comparatively investigated by tensiometry, conductometry, 1H NMR, small-angle neutron scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy, and cryogenic scanning electron microscopy. The chirality at spacer induces different self-assembly behaviors due to the hydrogen-bonding interaction between the hydroxyl groups at the chiral centers. The stereochemistry of the spacer has little effect on the release of the counterions from the surfactant headgroups and on the molecular packing at the air-water interface. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) decreases in the order of racemate > enantiomer > mesomer. Above the CMC, the aggregates of enantiomers transit from small spherical micelles to rodlike and wormlike micelles with increasing concentration, whereas the mesomer and racemate aggregates transform from spherical micelles to rodlike micelles and platelet-like aggregates. The differences may be because the mesomer and racemate molecules mainly form intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the -OH groups, but the enantiomer molecules dominantly form intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, it was found that the chiral micelles formed by the enantiomers exhibit enantioselection ability for bilirubin (BR) enantiomers. The recognition capability can be adjusted by the micellar structure, i.e., the rodlike micelles are better than either small spherical micelles or wormlike micelles, which might possess different chiral cavities, controlling BR shape and location. These results demonstrate that the aggregates of chiral gemini surfactants can be used to mimic the chiral recognition in biological membrane.

Abstract
Sub-nanometer metal particle/hierarchically mesoporous metal–organic framework composites can be synthesized in situ in bio-based surfactant emulsion.
In this work, we developed a strategy to in situ synthesize sub-nanometer metal particle/hierarchically mesoporous metal–organic framework (MOF) composites in emulsion. In this route, water droplets in the emulsion acted as both a solvent of the metal precursors and a template for the hierarchical mesopores of MOFs, and the surfactant was an emulsifier and a reductant for generating metal particles. Au/Zn-MOFs (MOFs formed by Zn2+ and methylimidazole), Ru/Zn-MOFs, Pd/Zn-MOFs, and Au/Cu-MOFs (MOFs formed by Cu2+ and methylimidazole) were prepared using this method, in which ultrafine metal particles (e.g. 0.8 nm) were immobilized uniformly on hierarchically mesoporous MOFs. Au/Zn-MOFs and Au/Cu-MOFs showed outstanding catalytic performances for the selective aerobic oxidation of cyclohexene to 2-cyclohexen-1-one in the absence of an initiator, and Ru/Zn-MOFs were very active and selective for the hydrogenation of diphenyl sulfoxide to diphenyl sulfide. In addition, the catalysts were also very stable in the reactions.
