title: Selective electrochemical sensing of acidic organic molecules via a novel guest-to-host proton transfer reaction.
abstract: Ferrocene-containing amidopyridine receptors bind carboxylic acids and the amino acid phenylalanine in acetonitrile via a novel proton transfer process that enables guests to be electrochemically sensed by positive shifts in the ferrocene-centred redox potentials.
