Chiral inorganic materials have attracted increasing attention in the fields such as catalysis, electronics, photonics, and sensing. A new class of functional materials with chirality is extensively explored. Herein, we demonstrate the synthesis of nanometric nickel layered hydroxide salt (Ni-LHS) modified with chiral amino acids, (D- or L-) phenylalanine (PHE). An alkalization reaction in a starting mixture of nickel-phenylalanine aqua complexes was induced by using propylene oxide, leading to intercalate and adsorb phenylalanine on the surface and into the interlayers of Ni-LHS in an in-situ manner. The chiral molecules also act as surface modifier to inhibit the extensive crystal growth and aggregation, to form Ni-LHS with a diameter of 2–3 nm in a state of stablly-suspended in a solvent. It was also found that Ni-LHS exhibit induced circular dichroism (ICD) in the spectral range ofd-dtransitions of Ni(II) metal centres. The layered nanomaterials with chiroptical response demonstrated here is a promising option as an advanced adsorbent for detection of molecules.Graphical abstract
