Monodispersed chiral mesoporous spheres of nanometer size with high specific area and good thermal stability were synthesized using the chiral anionic surfactant (N-palmitoyl-L-phenylalanine) as a template according to the co-structure directing agent (CSDA) method. The resulting mesoporous nanospheres were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), small angle X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and nitrogen sorption experiments. The particle distribution was 190–210 nm with pore diameters of 3–4 nm. The enantioselective ability of this chiral mesoporous silica, after extraction of the chiral surfactant, was investigated by the selective adsorption of enantiomers and racemic solutions of alanine. The chiral selective adsorbability of this material type was shown by the asymmetric preferential adsorption of alanine as observed using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy and was further verified in a racemic mixture of valine. It was found that the adsorption of L-alanine was higher than that of D-alanine on as-prepared chiral mesoporous materials with a chiral selectivity factor of 3.15, which generates new possibilities for enantiomeric separation and other enantioselective applications.
根据共结构导向剂(CSDA)法,使用手性阴离子表面活性剂(N-棕榈酰-L-苯丙氨酸)作为模板,合成了具有高比表面积和良好热稳定性的纳米级单分散手性介孔球。使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、小角X射线粉末衍射(XRD)和氮气吸附实验对所得介孔纳米球进行了表征。粒径分布为190-210 nm,孔径为3-4 nm。通过手性表面活性剂的萃取,通过选择性地吸附对映体和丙氨酸外消旋溶液,研究了这种手性介孔二氧化硅的对映选择性。使用圆二色光谱(CD)观察到的丙氨酸的不对称优先吸附表明了该材料类型的手性选择性吸附性,并在缬氨酸外消旋混合物中得到了进一步验证。结果发现,在制备好的手性介孔材料上,L-丙氨酸的吸附量高于D-丙氨酸,手性选择性因子为3.15,这为对映体分离和其他手性选择性应用提供了新的可能性。
