Application of cyclodextrins as second-sphere coordination ligands for gold recovery
Anne Ponchel, Éric Monflier
Abstract
Supramolecular chemistry based on cyclodextrin receptors as second-sphere ligands contribute to developing non-covalent materials with synergistic functionalities. Herein, we comment on a recent investigation of this concept, describing selective gold recovery through a hierarchical host-guest assembly specifically built from β-CD.
