Exploiting a non-linear response for chiral discrimination, an intelligent system capable of chirality amplification was designed and constructed as poly(phenyleneethynylene) having chiral pseudo-18-crown-6. Both sensitivity and selectivity were amplified from those limited by the law of mass action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
