title: Cyclodextrin-assisted synthesis of a metallosupramolecular terbium(III) polymer and its fluorescence properties and chiral recognition.
abstract: Hold and connect! Inclusion of a bridging ligand into cyclodextrin (CD), followed by the addition of Tb(III) leads to a polyrotaxane-type metallosupramolecular polymer (see figure, L=4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid). This polymer can recognize chirality and differentiate enantiomers by fluorescence and circular dichroism spectral changes.
