title: Electrochemical discrimination of phthalic acid among three phthalic acid isomers based on an N-butylaminomethyl-ferrocene derivative.
abstract: A chemosensor compound (1) consisting of a central ferrocene with two butylaminomethyl arms showed unexpected facile electrochemical oxidation of the secondary amines in proximity to the ferrocene, which was utilized for electrochemical discrimination of phthalic acid selectively over two other isomers, isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid.
