Induced chirality of guest molecules encapsulated into a dendritic box

The internal cavities of a dendritic box, constructed from poly(propylene imine) dendrimers and enantiomerically pure N ‐tBOC‐L‐phenylalanine hydroxysuccinimide esters, possess distinct chiral properties as was demonstrated with the observation of induced optical activity of a variety of guests encapsulated in the box. This induced optical activity of guests is measured with CD (circular dichroism) spectroscopy and is remarkable as the optical...
