The cationic steroidal receptors 9 and 11 have been synthesized from cholic acid 3. Receptor 9 extracts N-acetyl-alpha-amino acids from aqueous media into chloroform with enantioselectivities (L:D) of 7-10:1. The lipophilic variant 11 has been employed for the enantioselective transport of N-acetylphenylalanine, a) through dichloromethane (DCM) and dichloroethane (DCE) bulk liquid membranes (U-tube apparatus), and b) through 2.5% (v/v) octanol/hexane via hollow fibre membrane contactors. Significant enantioselectivities and multiple turnovers were observed for both types of apparatus.

The research of chiral separation technology is of great significance for understanding the origin of life and promoting the application of chiral molecules. Herein, anionic chiral pillar[6]arene and cationic pillar[6]arene were designed and synthesized, and a chiral pillar[6]arene membrane was constructed by layer-by-layer assembly through electrostatic interactions. The transport rates of l and d in this channel were 14.

With the global implementation of wastewater reuse, accurately assessing the soil ecological risk of chiral pollutants from wastewater necessitates a comprehensive understanding of their enantioselective toxicity to soil animals. Ibuprofen (IBU) is the most prevalent chiral pharmaceutical in municipal wastewater. However, its enantioselective toxicity toward soil animals and the underlying mechanism remain largely unknown.

Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights the urgent issue of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) spread in the environment, focusing on the impact of the herbicide napropamide (NAP) on plasmid transfer between bacteria.
- - It found that R-NAP significantly enhances plasmid transfer efficiency from E. coli to Bacillus subtilis compared to its S-enantiomer, particularly at a concentration of 5 mg/L, while also affecting bacterial structures and increasing membrane permeability.
- - The research identifies specific genes involved in this transfer and suggests that careful management of herbicides like R-NAP is necessary in agricultural settings to prevent the spread of ARGs, particularly in fields treated with livestock manure.

To overcome the climate crisis, various greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategies have been developed, and every effort has been made to achieve carbon neutrality. Given that petroleum-based industries and the transportation sector emit enormous amounts of GHGs, the product spectra of biorefineries should be expanded beyond drop-in biofuels to include more value-added products. This study aimed to construct a CO mitigation system.

Incorporating chiral molecules in the covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with uniformly ordered pores results in chiral COFs, which have been highly promising candidates for enantioseparation. Herein, a homochiral COF nanochannel membrane is reported by introducing chiral centers (L-phenylalanine methyl ester) into one of the organic ligands for the enantioseparation of chiral amino acids. The separation results show that the D-isomer is preferentially transported through the porous membrane channel.
