Hierarchical chirality transfer of perylene diimide-tethered pillar[5]arenes for configuration and type differentiation of amino acid derivatives†
Abstract
Perylene diimide-tethered pillar[5]arene derivatives showed significantly varied circular dichroism (CD) spectral responses towards different amino acid derivatives in both the dispersed and aggregated forms. The wide variety of patterns and intensity combinations of CD signals at different wavelengths allowed for the differentiation of not only the configuration but also types of amino acid derivatives with only one chiroptical sensor.
