Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are highly attractive due to their ease of recovery and recycling uses, nontoxicity, and convenient availability. MNPs also show other advantages in that they can be easily functionalized and immobilized with various species of interest. On the other hand, chiral science, chiral technologies, and chiral materials are currently drawing rapidly growing attention because of their far-reaching implications. When chiral substances are judiciously combined with MNPs, a new class of chiral magnetic materials with unique properties is anticipated thereof. The emerging chiral composite MNPs have demonstrated important and promising application prospects in a diversity of significant fields. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art achievements in preparation, functionalization, and applications of Fe3O4-based chiral magnetic nanoparticles (CMNPs). Chiral small organic molecules, biomacromolecules, chiral metal complexes, and chiral synthetic polymers have been employed to construct CMNPs, and their potential uses have been substantially explored in multiple research fields associated with chirality, including asymmetric catalysis, chiral resolution, chiral recognition, and biomedical materials. We hope this review can promote further advancements in design and fabrication of chiral magnetic hybrid materials and practical uses thereof.
