Abstract

Two chiral ionic liquids (ILs), namely 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole l-tartrate (EMIML-Tar) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazole l-lactate (EMIML-Lac), were used to modify gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for chiral recognition of amino acid enantiomers. Transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, and capillary electrophoresis were used for the characterization of chiral IL-modified AuNPs. Meanwhile, the performance of l-tartaric acid and l-lactic acid as modifiers was investigated to make a comparison. The chiral recognition mechanism is further discussed.
