Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, asymmetric catalytic activities of porous Pt electrodes baring high-index surfaces for electrochemical reactions of chiral compounds were invesitgated to indicate a guidance for preparation of high-performance asymmetric catalysis, or chiral sensors. For this purpose, enantioselectivity in electrochemical reactions were evaluated by electrochemical methods by changing substrates, target chiral molecules, kinds of metal, preparation process of the porous electrodes, and solution conditions. By these investigations, the capablity of chiral recognition using the porous bare metals was firstly demonstrated. The chiral sensing method using electrochemical methods was applied for a patent.
