Chirality sensing of choline derivatives by a triple anion helicate cage through induced circular dichroism

Chem Commun (Camb). 2018 Jun 28;54(53):7378-7381. doi: 10.1039/c8cc03883j.

Abstract

Chirality sensing of choline derivatives is achieved by a self-assembled, racemic triple anion helicate cage which exhibits induced circular dichroism (ICD) upon encapsulation of a chiral guest. The host-guest interactions were illustrated by NMR, crystal structure, CD and DFT calculations. The absolute configurations and ee values were determined by ICD.
