Assessing the nature of chiral-induced spin-selectivity by magnetic resonance

Abstract

Understanding chiral induced spin-selectivity (CISS), resulting from charge transport through helical systems, has recently inspired many experimental and theoretical efforts, but is still object of intense debate. In order to assess the nature of CISS, we propose to focus on electron-transfer processes occurring at the single-molecule level. We design simple magnetic resonance experiments, exploiting a qubit as a highly sensitive and coherent magnetic sensor, to provide clear signatures of the acceptor polarization. Moreover, we show that information could even be obtained from time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance experiments on a randomly-oriented solution of molecules. The proposed experiments will unveil the role of chiral linkers in electron-transfer and could also be exploited for quantum computing applications.
