pH-Dependent Inversion of Optical Activity in Chiral Mesostructured In2S3 Induced by Cysteine

Abstract

Chiral mesostructured In2S3 particles withthe nanoflakes morphology were fabricated via a hydrothermal method, using cysteine as both the symmetry-breaking agent and the sulphur source. The pH-dependent inversion of their optical activity was observed, which was speculated by the dynamic interfacial interactions between organic molecule and inorganic precursors.
