Abstract:The development of chiral receptors for discriminating the configuration of the analyte of interest is increasingly urgent in view of monitoring pollution in water and waste liquids. Here, we investigate an easy protocol to immobilize the desired non-water-soluble receptors inside a water-dispersible chiral nanoplatform made of silica. This approach induces chirality in the receptors and Here, we investigate an easy protocol to immobilize the desired non-water-soluble receptors inside a waterdispersible chiral… Show more
An enantioselective array comprised of chiral silica nanohelices grafted with porphyrins shows the capability of recognizing enantiomers with high classification accuracies.
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.
