Abstract

Silver nanospirals with strong chiroptical activity, characterized by circular dichroism, are grafted with achiral alkyl ligands to cause chiroptical activity to weaken, as presented by Z. F. Huang and co-workers on page 6698. The chiroptical weakening is exacerbated by the increasing bond energy of the Ag-ligand contacts, which is ascribed to the effective medium screening effect and electron withdrawal towards the alkyl ligands.
