Facile fabrication of chiral hybrid organic-inorganic nanomaterial with large optical activity for selective and sensitive detection of trace Hg~(2+)

摘要

A new class of noble metal-organic hybrid chiral complex nanoparticles with large optical activity was facilely fabricated via self-assembly, and explored for highly sensitive and selective sensing of Hg~(2+) without the need for any separation and purification.rnRecently, the chirality of nanomaterials has attracted much attention, and the focus is moving toward the applications of chiral nanomaterials, such as enantioselective catalysis, sensing and chiroptical devices.
