Chiral platinum-polypyrrole hybrid films as efficient enantioselective actuators

We report the synthesis of a hybrid bilayer, being composed of a free-standing conducting polymer film and a layer of mesoporous metal, encoded with chiral features. The resulting structure constitutes an enantioselective actuator, which can be electrochemically addressed in a wireless way. The cont...

Summary:We report the synthesis of a hybrid bilayer, being composed of a free-standing conducting polymer film and a layer of mesoporous metal, encoded with chiral features. The resulting structure constitutes an enantioselective actuator, which can be electrochemically addressed in a wireless way. The controlled discriminatory deformation of the film allows an easy readout of chiral information. A hybrid film composed of chiral encoded mesoporous platinum and polypyrrole shows differential wireless actuation as a function of the chiral nature of an enantiomer present in solution.
