Abstract

Molecular recognition based on chirality has fundamental importance in many biological processes. Deuterium quadrupole splittings from the aromatic ring and mesophase components of two series of optical isomers, L- and D-N-acyl-1-phenyl-d5-2-aminopropanes, dissolved in anionic nematic cholesteric lyotropic liquid crystals of cesium N-dodecanoyl-L-threoninate, were measured using
