A chiral binaphthyl-based coordination polymer as an enantioselective fluorescence sensor

Abstract

A fluorescent, chiral coordination polymer (CP) with a novel topology has been synthesised using a dipyridyl ligand derived from 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL). Enantioselectivity ratios up to 2.61 were obtained in fluorescence sensing studies with chiral analytes.
