Fluorescence-detected linear dichroism (FD-LD) enables one to collect linear dichroism spectra for oriented fluorophores in the presence of other absorbing species and light scattering. This work uses a synchrotron radiation light source and fluorescence-detection to collect film and flow-oriented FD-LD spectra down to 170 nm.

EDA-β-CD-EPI-CA chiral membrane has unique characteristics on selective separation of enantiomers.

Amino acid chiral ionic liquid(AACIL) was successfully prepared and applied as a chiral recognition sensor. The sensor was applied for visual chiral recognition of the enantiomers of glutamine and phenylalanine, and the recognition conditions were optimized. Various methods are used to explore the mechanism of chiral recognition.

Optically active left (M)- and right (P)-handed helical syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate)s (M- and P-st-PMMAs) prepared by the “helicity induction and memory” strategy enantioselectively encapsulated the racemic fullerene derivatives within their helical cavities to form peapod-like inclusion complexes. Interestingly, the enantiomeric excess (ee) and separation factor (enantioselectivity) (α) of 3,4-fulleroproline tert-butyl ester (rac-1) used as the analyte encapsulated within the helical cavities of the M- and P-st-PMMAs were relatively higher (ee = 23%–25% and α = 2.35–2.50).

A chemo-enzymatic approach has been developed for the first time for the synthesis of the anti-epileptic drug, cenobamate using Daucus carota whole plant cells. The use of commercially readily available vegetables as a source of enzymes makes this method simple, greener, and cost-effective.
