Article Synopsis
- Chiral recognition of enantiomers in host compounds poses significant challenges in host-guest chemistry, with mass spectrometry (MS) emerging as a favored method due to its effective detection and analysis capabilities.
- The study employs electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS) to investigate the molecular mechanisms behind chiral recognition between amino acids and a specifically modified chiral crown ether, noting that D enantiomers typically exhibit stronger interactions than their L counterparts.
- The findings reveal unique behaviors, particularly the non-resolution of proline's enantiomers due to its structural features and highlight the complex nature of enantiomer interactions with the chiral selector, supported by both experimental data and quantum chemical calculations.
