Abstract

Chiral discrimination in a racemic mixture of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) is induced by a new selector at the water-air interface: L-DPPC is segregated in the condensed phase of a Langmuir monolayer upon interactions with an enantiopure amphiphilic compound.

Keywords: Langmuir monolayers C3 symmetry; amide; chiral recognition; dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine; pyrrolidine.
