Journal ArticleDOI

Chiromagnetic nanoparticles and gels.

TL;DR: It was found that dispersions and gels of paramagnetic Co3O4 nanoparticles with chiral distortions of the crystal lattices exhibited chiroptical activity in the visible range that was 10 times as strong as that of nonparamagnetic nanoparticles of comparable size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chiral Ceramic Nanoparticles and Peptide Catalysis

TL;DR: The preparation of chiral ceramic NPs, as represented by tungsten oxide hydrate, WO3-x·H2O, dispersed in ethanol is reported to create a unique combination of properties relevant to chiral optics, chemical technologies, and biomedicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growing gold nanoparticles on a flexible substrate to enable simple mechanical control of their plasmonic coupling

TL;DR: In this article, a simple method is presented to control and trigger the coupling between plasmonic particles using both a growing process of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) and a mechanical strain applied to the elastomeric template where these GNPs are anchored.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modular synthesis, orthogonal post-functionalization, absorption, and chiroptical properties of cationic [6]helicenes.

TL;DR: Novel cationic diaza-, azaoxo-, and dioxo[6]helicenes are readily prepared and functionalized selectively by orthogonal aromatic electrophilic and vicarious nucleophilic substitutions and reductions, cross-coupling, or condensation reactions introduce additional diversity and allow tuning of the absorption properties up to the near-infrared region.
