Background: Indoxacarb, a type of chiral pesticide, is used to control Lepidoptera insects. Most studies had focused on the environmental behavior and selective toxicity of indoxacarb enantiomers, and the mechanism behind its selective biological activity against target organisms is not well understood.
Results: Spodoptera frugiperda was selected as the target insect.

The reaction between a chiral carboxylic acid molecule and 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocenepalladium dichloride in the presence of a mild base generates a chiroptically active metal complex displaying strong circular dichroism (CD) signals in the visible light region, a highly sought-after goal in the optical sensing realm. The molecular recognition process is complete within a few minutes and can be used for fast chiroptical determination of the enantiomeric composition and concentration of carboxylic acid samples. This method is operationally simple and broadly applicable to a large variety of structures including important drugs, natural products, amino acids, and hydroxy acids.

Amino acids play important roles in human pathology and physiology and the qualitative and quantitative determination of chiral amino acids in humans and mammals also has important impacts on the life sciences. Therefore, the introduction of artificial probes to assess the concentrations and enantiomeric compositions [ee = ([D] - [L])/([D] + [L])] of amino acids in aqueous solution is necessary in understanding certain biological processes and diagnosing and treating diseases. Herein, a bifunctional achiral coumarin probe (Br-Coumarin) is reported to determine the absolute configuration, ee value, and concentration of 16 amino acids in THF/HO = 1/4 solution at micromolar concentrations.

Chiral Au@Pt nanoparticles (NPs) with optically plasmonic and catalytic active surfaces were sustainably prepared to serve as label-free surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform to distinguish D- and L-enantiomers of alanine and tartaric acid. Surface morphologies were characterized by high-angle annular dark-field imaging-scanning transmission electron microscopy (HADDF-STEM) and selected area energy diffraction (SAED) patterns. The amounts of Pt on chiral Au NPs were estimated by the inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Article Synopsis
- Chirality is a critical aspect in various fields, including life sciences and pharmaceuticals, and chiral carbon dots (CCDs) show promise for chiral sensing, although suitable CCDs for tryptophan (Trp) enantiomers are limited.
- Researchers synthesized novel CCDs using l-lysine and l-cysteine, achieving unique chiral recognition that allows them to distinguish between L-Trp and D-Trp both by fluorescence intensity and emission wavelength, with a notable enantioselectivity ratio of 4.5 at 1 mM concentration.
- This study highlights a new chiral sensing platform with the potential for quantitative analysis and determining enantiomeric excess, paving the way for future advancements in
