Chiroptical sensing of perrhenate in aqueous media by a chiral organic cage

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 Mar 22;58(24):3897-3900. doi: 10.1039/d2cc00612j.

Abstract

A chiral cage is proposed as an effective chiroptical sensor for perrhenate (surrogate for 99TcO4-) in water, fruit juice and artificial urine media. The key mechanism for the chiroptical sensing resides in the change of dihedral angle of the binaphthyl unit and H-bonds with the guest, resulting in ample changes of the CD signal as a consequence of the binding event.
