In order to provide an innovative methodology for simple and quick detection of chirality, development of novel chiral sensor consisting of chiral gold nanoparticles was investigated in this research. Gold nanoparticles surface-modified by chiral molecules were found to show color change that varied dependent on the chirality of optically active compounds. Hence, the chiral gold nanoparticles were concluded to be applicable to visual inspection of chirality.
