The synthesis of novel 3-substituted pyrrole monomers possessing chiral side groups: a study of their chemical polymerisation and the assessment of their chiral discrimination properties

Novel 3-substituted pyrrole monomers possessing chiral side groups were synthesised. These compounds were successfully polymerised with ferric salts and the polymer materials fabricated into sensors. The sensors were found to elicit differential changes in electrical resistance and mass, when expose...

More Information
Summary:Novel 3-substituted pyrrole monomers possessing chiral side groups were synthesised. These compounds were successfully polymerised with ferric salts and the polymer materials fabricated into sensors. The sensors were found to elicit differential changes in electrical resistance and mass, when exposed to different chiral enantiomers in the vapour phase.
