title: Highly enantioselective recognition of a wide range of carboxylic acids based on enantioselectively aggregation-induced emission.
abstract: A new chiral fluorescence receptor, designed to exploit aggregation-induced emission (AIE), exhibited not only an exceptionally high enantioselectivity but was also applicable to a wide range of chiral carboxylic acids. The fluorescence intensity ratio of two enantiomers ranged from 10 to 1.6 × 10(4) and could be used to determine the purity of the enantiomers.
