Chiral recognition at the air-water interface

Chiral recognition within monolayer components and of aqueous guests has been investigated at the air-water interface. For the first topic, supramolecular chirality related to the formation of chiral structures from achiral components is a current topic of importance. A marked development of the latter subject involved tuning of chiral selectivity upon dynamic changes of monolayer structures. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
