Calix[4]arene-based triple helicates take up an achiral part of chiral guests; the chiral center outside the cavity causes the asymmetric induction of their supramolecular helicity.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in the synthesis and separation of enantiomers of organic compounds especially because of their importance in the biochemistry and pharmaceutical industry. High-performance liquid Chromatography is a very useful method for the direct separation of enantiomers. However, about 30−40 years ago, commercially available chiral stationary phases wer...

one of the problems encountered in ce separations of basic compounds is the adsorption of analytes onto the negatively charged capillary wall which could lead to poor repeatability of migration time and peak area. additionally, separation of enantiomers of chiral of basic drugs is commonly carried out in low ph buffer which contributes to strong ionic interaction of the cationic drug ions with ...

Noncovalently introducing stereogenic information is a promising approach to embed chirality in achiral molecular systems. However, the interplay of the noncovalently introduced chirality with the intrinsic chirality of molecules or molecular aggregations has rarely been addressed. We report a competitive chiral expression of the noncovalent interaction-mediated chirality induction and the intr...

The chemisorptive enantioselectivity of propylene oxide is examined on Pd(111) surfaces templated by chiral 2-methylbutanoate and 2-aminobutanoate species. It has been found previously that chiral propylene oxide is chemisorbed enantiospecifically onto Pd(111) surfaces modified by either (R)- or (S)-2-butoxide. The enantiomeric excess (ee) varied with template coverage, reaching a maximum of ap...

Inherently chiral calixarenes, whose chirality is based on the absence of a planar symmetry or an inversion center in the molecules as a whole through the asymmetric array of several achiral groups upon the three-dimensional calix-skeletons, are challenging and attractive chiral molecules, because of their potential in supramolecular chemistry. The synthesis and optical resolution of all variet...

We report the most sensitive direct search for pair production of fourth-generation bottomlike chiral quarks (b') each decaying promptly to tW. We search for an excess of events with an electron or muon, at least five jets (one identified as due to a b or c quark), and an imbalance of transverse momentum by using data from pp collisions collected by the CDF II detector at Fermilab with an integ...

It has been known for some time that the Boltzmann weights of the chiral Potts model can be parametrized in terms of hyperelliptic functions, but as yet no such parametrization has been applied to the partition and correlation functions. Here we show that for N = 3 the function S(t p) that occurs in the recent calculation of the order parameters can be expressed quite simply in terms of such a ...

A hexafullereno-diporphyrinoid was obtained in a sequence of cycloaddition steps using porphyrins programmed for [4+2]-cycloaddition reactions and C(60)-fullerene.

carbon nanotubes (cnts) are specific structures with valuable characteristics. in general, the structure of each nanotube is defined by a unique chiral vector. in this paper, different structures of short single-walled cnts are simulated and their mechanical properties are determined using finite element method. for this aim, a simple algorithm is presented which is able to model the geometry o...
