ABSTRACT
Chiral separation membranes have shown great potential for the efficient separation of racemic mixtures into enantiopure components for many applications, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries; however, scalable fabrication of membranes with both high enantioselectivity and flux remains a challenge. Herein, enantiopure S-poly(2,4-dimethyl-2-oxazoline) (S-PdMeOx) macromonomers were synthesized and used to prepare a new type of enantioselective membrane consisting of a chiral S-PdMeOx network scaffolded by graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets. The S-PdMeOx-based membrane showed a near-quantitative enantiomeric excess (ee) (98.3±1.7 %) of S-(-)-limonene over R-(+)-limonene and a flux of 0.32â
mmol m-2 h-1 . This work demonstrates the potential of homochiral poly(2,4-disubstituted-2-oxazoline)s in chiral discrimination and provides a new route to the development of highly efficient enantioselective membranes using synthetic homochiral polymer networks.
