The project is focused on the synthesis of novel polyfunctional chiral compounds starting from isohexides and on their use as chiral selectors, in molecular recognition processes and as new light-emitting materials. The central idea of the project is to develop new libraries of chiral selectors and light-emitting molecules starting from polyfunctional molecules, such as isomannide and isosorbide, two sugar derived molecules obtained from the chiral pool, and using cheap reactives, simple reactions and avoiding long purfications.
