Perspective: Plasmon antennas for nanoscale chiral chemistry
Abstract
Plasmon nanoantennas are extensively used with molecular systems for the chemical and biological ultra-sensing, for boosting the molecular emissive and energy transfer properties, for the nanoscale catalysis, and for building advanced hybrid nanoarchitectures. In this Perspective we focus on the latest developments of using plasmon nanoantennas for the nanoscale chiral chemistry and for advancing the molecular magnetism. We overview the decisive role nanoplasmonics and nano-optics can play in achieving the chirally-selective molecular synthesis and separation, and in the way such processes might be precisely controlled by potentially merging chirality and magnetism at the molecular level. We give our view on how these insights might lead to the emergence of exciting new fundamental concepts in the nanoscale materials science.
