Chirality sensing by a fluorescent binaphthocrown ether–polythiophene conjugate

Abstract

Chiral recognition abilities of the title host for (R)- and (S)-α-methyl-4-nitrobenzylamine were examined in the ground and excited states to give a relative affinity (KR/KS) of 2.16 by spectral titration and a relative rate constant (kR/kS) of 2.23 by fluorescence quenching, revealing that the quenching process is static and not enantiodifferentiating.
