Chiral glutamic acid functionalized graphene: preparation and application†
Abstract
Through the amide group of glutamic acid enantiomer and oxygen-containing groups in graphene oxide, chiral functionalized graphene nanosheets were synthesized, which showed good enantioselective recognition of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine enantiomers. These chiral graphene hybrids should be novel promising materials for biological and pharmacological applications.
