The synthesis of Spi(τ-dec), derived from the selective alkylation of L-spinacine (4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid) at the τ-nitrogen of its heteroaromatic ring, with a linear hydrocarbon chain of 10 carbon atoms, is described here for the first time. Spi(τ-dec) was successfully employed in the past to prepare home-made chiral columns for chiral ligand-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. In the present article a new method is described, using Spi(τ-dec) as a chiral selector in high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC): commercial hydrophobic plates were first coated with Spi(τ-dec) and then treated with copper sulfate. The performance of this new chiral stationary phase was tested against racemic mixtures of aromatic amino acids, after appropriate optimization of both the conditions of preparation of the plates and the mobile phase composition. The enantioselectivity values obtained for the studied compounds were higher than those reported in the literature for similar systems. The method employed here for the preparation of chiral HPTLC plates proved practical, efficient, and inexpensive.

Circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy has emerged as a potent tool for probing chiral small-molecule ligand exchange on natively achiral quantum dots (QDs). In this study, we report a novel approach to identifying QD-biomolecule interactions by inducing chirality in CdS QDs using thermoresponsive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) engineered with C-terminal cysteine residues. Our method is based on a versatile two-step ligand exchange process starting from monodisperse oleate-capped QDs in nonpolar media and proceeding through an easily accessed achiral glycine-capped QD intermediate.

Semiconductor colloidal nanostructures capped with chiral organic molecules are a research hotspot due to their wide range of important implications for photonic and spintronic applications. However, to date, the study of chiral ligands has been limited almost exclusively to naturally occurring chiral amino and hydroxy acids, which typically contain only one stereocenter. Here, we show the pronounced induction of chirality in atomically thin CdSe nanoplatelets (NPLs) by capping them with enantiopure menthol derivatives as multi-stereocenter molecules.

The strategy of organic ligand exchange is proposed to tune the optical properties of organic-inorganic hybrid cuprous halides. In this work, the chiral ligand (S)-(-)-2,2'-bis(di--tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl ((S)-Tol-BINAP) and achiral triphenylphosphine (PPh) are introduced into cuprous halides CuX-PPh-[(S)-Tol-BINAP] (X = Cl, Br, I) through organic ligand exchange. As a result, the mixed organic ligands can enhance second harmonic generation (SHG) and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) optical properties.

This study aims to develop a method for the chiral analysis of organoboron compounds using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It addresses the longstanding challenge associated with these chiral organoboron compounds, which often require derivatization and pretreatment prior to chromatographic analysis. Our method utilizes tridentate ligands to facilitate effective ligand exchange and incorporates fluorine labels, allowing for the precise discrimination of F NMR signals.

The isolation and analysis of chiral isomers are critical parts of the drug development process to ensure effective and safe drug administration to patients. Indirect chiral ligand exchange chromatography (ICLEC) was developed to separate and determine tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF) and its diastereoisomer GS-7339, with a hypothesized separation mechanism. The effect of using a chiral column a standard C18 column on the separation of the TAF chiral isomer mixture was investigated.
