The importance of the orientation of functional groups in a chiral environment on enantioselective recognition has been demonstrated. Orientation controlled interactions of functional groups in (R)/(S)-MA lead to a visually differentiable morphology with an arginine-based gelator. The crucial role of various molecular-level interactions discriminating the enantioselective self-assembly has been established using different analytical techniques, crystal structure analysis, and DFT calculations.

Chiral isomers show different behaviours and properties in physiological activities. It is of great significance to find productive approach to realize the recognition of enantiomers, which is a key issue in biochemical and pharmaceutical fields. Nowadays, chiral identification can be successfully achieved according to the discrepancies of special signals correlated with different enantiomers of multiple electrode structures.

Designing single-template molecularly imprinted chiral sensors for the enantioselective recognition of various chiral amino acids (AAs) is of great importance for chiral analysis. Here, a dummy template-based chiral sensor is developed by using l-alanine (l-Ala) as the dummy template and poly(-phenylenediamine) as the imprinting layer, which can be used for the enantioselective recognition of various chiral AAs such as Ala, tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), cysteine (Cys), and arginine (Arg). Compared with conventional single-template molecularly imprinted chiral sensors, the designed single-template chiral sensor shows great universality for the recognition of chiral AAs since all chiral AAs possess an Ala-analogous segment.

Introducing chiral molecules into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to obtain chiral MOFs (CMOFs), the tunability of their structures makes them a highly anticipated class of chiral materials for electrochemical sensing. However, the structure of CMOFs is often limited by synthesis challenges, and introducing chiral molecules into MOFs often leads to a decrease in their internal space. This study introduces a defect engineering strategy into the synthesis of CMOFs to obtain CMOFs with defects, which is an efficient synthesis method.

Assembling chiral coordination polymers into nano/microflower structures may improve their performance in applications such as chiral recognition and separation. In this study, we chose a chiral metal phosphonate system, , In(NO)/-, -pempH [pempH = (1-phenylethylamino)methylphosphonic acid], and carried out systematic work on the self-assembly of this system in different alcohol/HO mixed solvents under solvothermal conditions. Enantiomeric compounds -, -[In(pempH)(μ-OH)(HO)](NO) (R-, S-1) were obtained showing dense layered structures, but their morphologies varied with alcohol solvent.

Chiral discrimination is an indispensable tool that has pivotal importance in the assignment of absolute configuration and determination of enantiomeric excess in chiral compounds. A series of enantiomerically pure -1,2-diaminocyclohexane (-DACH)-derived benzamides were first synthesized by simple chemical steps, and 14 variated derivatives have been assessed as NMR chiral solvating agents (CSAs) for discrimination of the signals of mandelic acid (MA) in H NMR analysis. The highly efficient chiral recognition of CSA on different substrates, including MAs, carboxylic acids, amino acid derivatives, and phosphoric acids (32 examples), was expanded via H, F, and P NMR spectroscopy.
