Article Abstract
Two chiral covalent organic frameworks (CCOFs) core-shell microspheres based on achiral organic precursors by chiral-induced synthesis strategy for HPLC enantioseparation are reported for the first time. Using n-hexane/isopropanol as mobile phase, various kinds of racemates were selected as analytes and separated on the CCOF-TpPa-1@SiO and CCOF-TpBD@SiO-packed columns with a low column backpressure (3 ~ 9 bar). The fabricated two CCOFs@SiO chiral columns exhibited good separation performance towards various racemates with high column efficiency (e.g., 19,500 plates m for (4-fluorophenyl)ethanol and 18,900 plates m for 1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol) and good reproducibility. Some effects have been investigated such as the analyte mass and column temperature on the HPLC enantioseparation. Moreover, the chiral separation results of the CCOF-TpPa-1@SiO chiral column and the commercialized Chiralpak AD-H column show a good complementarity. This study demonstrates that the usage of chiral-induced synthesis strategy for preparing CCOFs core-shell microspheres as a novel stationary phase has a good application potential in HPLC.

Chirality transfer has garnered significant attention due to its potential to revolutionize asymmetric synthesis of enantiopure compounds and to provide fundamental insights into molecular symmetry breaking, which is widely believed to underlie the pervasive phenomenon of homochirality in biological systems. While organic-to-organic and organic-to-inorganic chirality transfers have been extensively studied, the inorganic-to-organic counterpart remains challenging due to the dimensional mismatch between the nanoscale of inorganic materials and the molecular scale of organic compounds, the thermodynamic instability of chiral inorganic lattices, and the uncontrollable influence of defects on chirality transfer. This review summarizes the synthesis of organic-free chiral nano-inorganic materials and explores the concept of inorganic-to-organic chirality transfer via symmetry breaking induced by these materials through three proposed pathways: enantiospecific inorganic-organic interactions, chirality transfer from circularly polarized light to molecules, electron spin-determined enantiopreferential reactions governed by chiral-induced spin selectivity.

The chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect results in spin-dependent electron transmission through chiral systems. In biological systems such as proteins, chirality appears in both primary and secondary structures, namely, in the existence of asymmetric carbon atoms and in the chiral configuration of oligopeptide subunits. An important question is what contribution each type of chirality makes to this effect.

Proton transport plays a fundamental role in many biological and chemical systems. In life, proton transport is crucial for biochemical and physiological functions. It is usually accepted that the main mechanism of proton transfer is a result of hopping between neighboring water molecules and amino acid side chains.

Primitive nucleic acids and peptides likely collaborated in early biochemistry. What forces drove their interactions and how did these forces shape the properties of primitive complexes? We investigated how two model primordial polypeptides associate with DNA. When peptides were coupled to a ferromagnetic substrate, DNA binding depended on the substrate's magnetic moment orientation.

Specificity and activity are often at odds for natural enzymes. In this work, specificity and activity in coronazymes made of an Au nanoparticle (AuNP) and coated with DNA aptamer for glucose substrates are decoupled. By single-molecule fluorescent MT-HILO (magnetic tweezers coupled with highly inclined and laminated optical sheet) microscopy, it is found that this coronazyme has ≈30 times higher activity on the d-glucose compared to bare AuNP nanozymes.
