Graphical Abstract

The attachment of a suitable “bouncer” molecule to the rim of a graphene pore prevents the passage of the undesired enantiomer while letting its mirror image through. In their Communication on page 9957 ff., A. W. Hauser, P. Schwerdtfeger et al. report that a small difference in the geometry of the temporary dimer complex, which is formed by the “bouncer” and the penetrating molecule, is transformed into a significant difference for the transmission barrier.
