Abstract:
The use of anisotropic NMR parameters-especially residual dipolar couplings (RDCs)-offers access to additional structural information and, therefore, alignment media required for this approach are under a continuous development. Here, we present poly-γ-p-biphenylmethyl-glutamate (PBPMG) as a new versatile enantiodifferentiating alignment medium. The thermoresponsive properties of this polymer allowed for RDC measurements of more than one orientation within the same sample at different temperatures. Moreover, the outstanding enantiodifferentiation along with excellent spectral quality even offered the opportunity to differentiate enantiomers in mixtures.
