A facile enantioseparation for amino acids enantiomers using beta-cyclodextrins functionalized Fe3O4 nanospheres

Herein is presented a strategy for the enantioseparation of amino acids enantiomers using beta-CD functionalized Fe3O4 nanospheres, in which beta-CD provides the ability to chirally discriminate amino acids enantiomers, while the Fe3O4 nanoparticles serve as magnetic separators.
