Introduction of chirality in supramolecular gels has allowed the effective translation and amplification of molecular chirality. Upon integrating the stimuli-responsive nature of these gels with supramolecular chirality, a new platform for the discrimination of the enantiomeric guests through naked eye can be developed. Over the past decade, several groups have reported the development of chiral supramolecular gels for enantioselective recognition through gel formation or collapse. However, to the best of our knowledge, we are yet to come across a review highlighting the utilization of chiral supramolecular gels for macroscopic discrimination of enantiomers. In this article, we have articulated the chiral gelators developed to date for the recognition of different enantiomeric analytes focusing on their mode of recognition with an in-depth analysis of the mechanism of interactions assisting the recognition process.
介绍手性超分子凝胶已经允许分子手性的有效翻译和放大。在手性超分子凝胶的刺激响应性质与超分子手性结合之后，通过肉眼可以开发出一种新的对映体客体的区分平台。在过去的十年中，已经有几个研究小组报道了通过凝胶形成或塌陷来开发手性超分子凝胶以进行对映选择性识别。然而，据我们所知，我们还没有遇到一篇强调利用手性超分子凝胶来宏观区分对映体的综述文章。在本文中，我们已经阐述了迄今为止为识别不同对映体分析物而开发的手性凝胶剂，重点介绍了它们的识别模式，并深入分析了有助于识别过程的相互作用机制。
