论文摘要
手性分子之间的共振能传递可用于区分不同的对映异构体。手性分子之间的转移速率由非歧视性和歧视性部分组成。我们在宏观量子电动力学框架中得出了这两个速率贡献。我们表明，在较大的分离距离的智障机制或远区域中，它们的比率通常更大，并且在考虑周围培养基时可以修改歧视程度。我们强调了局部场效应对歧视程度的重要性，并预测了一般相同的手性分子的最佳介电培养基以进行歧视。我们将结果应用于3-甲基环戊酮，并表明外来培养基甚至可以扭转歧视作用。
Resonance energy transfer between chiral molecules can be used to discriminate between different enantiomers. The transfer rate between chiral molecules consists of a non-discriminatory and discriminatory parts. We derive these two rate contributions in the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. We show that their ratio is usually larger in the retarded regime or far-zone of large separation distances and that the degree of discrimination can be modified when considering a surrounding medium. We highlight the importance of local field effects onto the degree of discrimination and predict for general identical chiral molecules the optimum dielectric medium for discrimination. We apply our results on to 3-methylcyclopentanone and show that exotic media can even invert the discriminatory effect.
