Abstract

We propose a new method of chiral separation using functionalized nanoporous graphene as an example. Computational simulations based on density functional theory show that the attachment of a suitable chiral "bouncer" molecule to the pore rim prevents the passage of the undesired enantiomer while letting its mirror image through.
