First enantioseparation and circular dichroism spectra of Au38 clusters protected by achiral ligands
Bestowing chirality to metals is central in fields such as heterogeneous catalysis and modern optics. Although the bulk phase of metals is symmetric, their surfaces can become chiral through adsorption of molecules. Interestingly, even achiral molecules can lead to locally chiral, though globally racemic, surfaces. A similar situation can be obtained for metal particles or clusters. Here we rep...
متن کاملChirality in thiolate-protected gold clusters.
Over recent years, research on thiolate-protected gold clusters Au(m)(SR)n has gained significant interest. Milestones were the successful determination of a series of crystal structures (Au102(SR)44, Au25(SR)18, Au38(SR)24, Au36(SR)24, and Au28(SR)20). For Au102(SR)44, Au38(SR)24, and Au28(SR)20, intrinsic chirality was found. Strong Cotton effects (circular dichroism, CD) of gold clusters pro...
متن کاملMicroscopic measurement of circular dichroism spectra.
A microscope device to measure the circular dichroism (CD) spectra of a specified microscopic region of chiral samples was constructed by combining of a couple of objective lenses and a CCD camera, which was installed in a sample chamber of a commercially available CD spectropolarimeter. By using this apparatus, high quality micro-CD spectra in the 60 x 60 microm region of samples could be meas...
متن کاملCircular dichroism spectra of granal and agranal chloroplasts of maize.
Granum-containing chloroplasts from mesophyll cells of maize (Zea mays L. var. MV 861) leaves exhibited circular dichroism spectra with a large double signal; peaks at 696 nm (+) and 680 nm (-). In the circular dichroism spectra obtained with agranal chloroplasts of bundle sheath cells, this large double signal is absent. Separation of grana lamellae, in a medium of low salt concentration and i...
متن کاملComputation and analysis of protein circular dichroism spectra.
Introduction Circular dichroism (CD) is the most widely used form of chiroptical spectroscopy, spectroscopic techniques that utilize the differential interaction of molecules with left− and right−circularly polarized light. In the absence of a magnetic field, the molecule must be chiral to give rise to a difference in the interaction with the two types of circularly polarized light. The phenome...
