Abstract

Developing a universally applicable and commercially hopeful chiral material is a significant challenge for the separation and analysis field. In this study, innovative dual-chiral CCOFs ([SH-β-CD-NALC]x-COFs) modified with 6-deoxy-6-mercapto-β-cyclodextrin (SH-β-CD) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NALC) are presented. These CCOFs were synthesized using a single, one-step bottom-up approach at room temperature, specifically designed for enantiomer recognition and separation. We investigated the effect of varying ratios of multiple chiral selectors in CCOFs on chiral recognition abilities through adsorption experiments for the first time. The precisely engineered [SH-β-CD-NALC]1/6-COF, with excellent stability, crystallinity, abundant chiral sites, and a greater specific surface area, was well suited as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) in various racemates separation. The results showed satisfactory resolution, column efficiency, stability, and reproducibility. In addition, mechanism studies have revealed that the dual-chiral COF can offer triple selectivity and achieve the effect where 1 + 1 is greater than 2. This work emphasized the advantages of dual-chiral COF in achieving racemic drug separation, providing a new approach for the development of high-performance chiral separation platforms in the future.
