Chiral recognition based on enantioselectively aggregation-induced emission.
Novel chiral AIE compounds bearing a tartaric acid group were synthesized. They selectively aggregated with one enantiomer of a number of chiral amines, such that one enantiomer led to strong fluorescence and another enantiomer showed no or only weak fluorescence. This was used for the quantitative analysis of enantiomeric composition.
