A complete series of experimental and theoretical investigations on the supramolecular polymerization of chiral (1 and 2) and achiral (3) oligo(phenylene ethynylene) tricarboxamides (OPE-TAs) is reported. The performance of seargents-and-soldiers (SaS) and majority rules (MR) experiments has allowed deriving a full set of thermodynamic parameters, including the helix reversal penalty (HRP) and the mismatch penalty (MMP). The results described illustrate the influence exerted by the number of stereogenic centers per monomeric unit and the temperature on the chiral amplification phenomenon. While the HRP decreases upon decreasing the number of chiral side chains, the MMP follows an opposite trend. The experimental trend observed in MR experiments contrasts with that reported for benzenetricarboxamides (BTAs), for which the chiral amplification ability increases by lowering the number of stereogenic centers or increasing the temperature. Theoretical calculations predict that the rotational angle between adjacent monomeric units in the stack (ca. 18 degrees) gradually decreases when decreasing the number of branched chiral side chains and leads to higher MMP values, in good accord with the experimental trend. The reduction of the rotational angle gives rise to less efficient H-bonding interactions between the peripheral amide functional groups and is suggested to provoke a decrease of the HRP as experimentally observed. In BTAs, increasing the number of stereogenic centers per monomeric unit results in a negligible change of the rotation angle between adjacent units (ca. 65 degrees), and, consequently, the steric bulk increases with the number of chiral side chains, leading to higher MMP values. The data presented herein contribute to shed light on the parameters controlling the transfer and amplification of chirality processes in supramolecular polymers, highlighting the enormous influence exerted by the size of the self-assembling unit on the final helical outcome.
