Probing peristatic chirality of alkaline cations: NMR study of alkaline borocryptates

Abstract

Enantiomeric differentiation of chiral borocryptates using NMR spectroscopy in a chiral liquid crystalline medium is achieved using different NMR probes localised both on the receptor and on the substrate; the observed chirality at the substrate is described as being induced by the spiroborate junction and mediated by the peristatic chirality of the cavity.
