Replicating enantioselective molecular recognition with synthetic receptors is a topic of interest with implications in diverse applications such as bioinspired enantioselective catalysis, enantiomer separation, or sensing. In this review, five different systems reported in the literature are discussed, and their performance and versatility are analyzed. A recently reported host featuring a flexible scaffold challenges the long-established view that a high degree of preorganization in combination with strongly directional non-covalent interactions is required for efficient enantiodiscrimination. The review is complemented with an analysis of the synthetic effort required for each of the hosts presented.","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through imitating the precise selectivity and single molecule sensing exhibited by natural ion channels, nanopores/nanochannels have been widely used in many fields, such as analyte detection, gene sequencing and so on. In these applications, the surface functionalization of nanopores/nanochannels directly determines the effectiveness in quantitative analysis and single molecule detection. To explore the modification of different probes on nanopores/nanochannels, this review emphasizes the functionalization of nanopores/nanochannels using small molecules, peptides, nucleic acids, composite molecules and proteins through amidation reactions. In addition, we also present perspectives on the developmental prospects of nanopores, with the goal of enhancing our understanding of nanopore sensing technologies and their functionalization strategies. We have noted that this covalent reaction strategy provides an efficient, versatile and stable modification method for biological and solid-state nanopores/nanochannels.","PeriodicalId":67,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Communications","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142880036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since then, the chemistry displayed by Cnt has expanded rapidly in lanthanide chemistry. Due to the ligand flexibility, both classical planar η<sup>9</sup>-Cnt ligands and heavily bent ones with lower hapticity were found in Ln coordination complexes.
