title: Multicomponent covalent dye assembly for tight binding and sensitive sensing of L-DOPA.
abstract: A mixture of two simple perylene-containing receptors was found to bind bifunctional L-DOPA synergistically and tightly via orthogonal boronate ester and imine bond formation in neutral aqueous solutions, the resulting three-component assembly forming optically active long fibrous aggregates.
