Visual Chiral Recognition through Enantioselective Metallogel Collapsing: Synthesis, Characterization, and Application of Platinum-Steroid Low-Molecular-Mass Gelators
Seeing is believing: The visualchiralrecognition of (R)‐ and (S)‐binap has been realized through an enantioselective breakdown of metallogels prepared from novel aromatic–linker–steroidal‐type pincer platinum gelators. Van der Waals interactions, π stacking, and metal–metal bonding are responsible for the aggregation and chiralrecognition.
