Bright spies for chiral molecules

Article Abstract:

Shinkai, James and Sandanayake have developed a technique for selective monitoring of chiral molecules which exhibit one sided orientation. Chiral molecules exhibit left-handed or right handed orientation. The method for monitoring the chirality involves an instrument which consists of fluorescent sensors which separates various orientation in the molecules by observing the enantiomers.

Chiral discrimination of monosaccharides using a fluorescent molecular sensor

Article Abstract:

A designed receptor molecule which functions as a sensor discriminates the chiral D- and L-monosaccharides. The receptor molecule exhibits fluorescent response to binding of guest species of molecules the boronic acid groups which bind the saccharides by covalent reactions constitute the receptor molecule.

An enantiomerically pure hydrogen-bonded assembly

Article Abstract:

Research into the use of hydrogen-bonding to form enantiomerically pure assemblies with supramolecular chirality is presented. Models are presented for chiral assemblies in benzene.
