The use of stereodynamic probes is becoming one of the leading strategies for the fast and effective determination of enantiomeric excess. Recently, we reported a series of novel molecular architectures based on a modified tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine complex (TPMA), which are able to amplify the electronic CD, in the case of Zn(II) assemblies and vibrational CD, in the case of Co(II) assemblies. Herein, we report a structural modification of the ligand with the purpose to obtain a fluorescent chiral probe. The study deals with the synthesis of the novel ligand, the formation of the self-assembly system with amino acids, and the study of the electronic CD and circularly polarized luminescence.
Keywords: CD; CPL; enantiomeric excess; self-assembly; supramolecular chemistry.
