title: Asymmetric synthesis of chiral alpha-ferrocenylalkylamines and their use in the preparation of chiral redox-active receptors.
abstract: A new strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral primary alpha-ferrocenylalkylamines has been utilized to generate homochiral redox-active receptors that bind chiral carboxylate anions with moderate enantioselectivity and undergo a redox response to complexation.
