The formation of chiral porous materials is an on-going quest because of the numerous
applications of such materials in separation science, chiral catalysis, and in pharmaceutics …

We review the different approaches that lead to chiral sol–gel materials. These methods
include the use of silanes bearing a chiral group for silylating the surface of the porous sol …

Enantioselective surfactant-templated thin films were fabricated through the sol− gel (SG)
process. The enantioselectivity is general in the sense that it discriminates between pairs of …

In this article, we describe the synthesis of imprinted chiral silica nanotubes based on the
use of a chiral N-stearoyl l-serine (C18Ser) anionic surfactant as the chiral template. The …

Chirality is an important topic both in fundamental research and for practical applications in
fields as diverse as biology, functional materials, fine chemistry, and pharmacy. Some …

We have studied diastereomeric chiral interactions within sols, gels and xerogels of silicas
and derivatized silicas (20% phenylated and 10% octadecylated silicas) doped with the …

Herein we report on the synthesis of chiral mesoporous silica (CMS) that can be used for
chiral separation from a racemic mixture of two enantiomers. The CMS with a pore size of 3 …

Organosilica porous solids containing chiral organic moieties in the framework with an
enantiomeric purity of 95% ee, estimated by eluting organic constituent units from chiral …

Chiral ordered mesoporous silica (COMS) was synthesized in basic media by combining
tetraethyl orthosilicate and quaternized aminosilane (with a templating role) silica sources …

Chiral transcription and recognition play essential roles in analysis, separation, and
production of chiral materials. In the past decade, chiral transcription has been utilized to …
