Chiral auxiliary and induced chiroptical sensing with 5d/4f lanthanide-organic macrocycles

Chem Commun (Camb). 2020 Mar 5;56(19):2861-2864. doi: 10.1039/c9cc09733c.

Abstract

A stereocontrolled self-assembly of 5d/4f heterometal-organic macrocycles has been realized by a post-assembly chiral auxiliary approach. Interligand π-π stacking interactions promoted chiral transfer from point-chirality of the auxiliary ligand to metal centers and then the helicates to produced CD and CPL active europium assemblies, facilitating a feasible enantiomeric excess determination by induced chiroptical signals.
