Cover Feature: Stereoselective Sensing of l ‐ and d ‐Amino Acids: Development of a Fluorescence‐Array Based on Readily Available Chiral Phosphoric Acids (Chem. Eur. J. 62/2018)
A chiral sensor-array for the identification of amino-acids was developed, using six readily available bis- and trisphosphoric acids in combination with Ni2+ and Eu3+, resulting in a fluorescence-based array with twelve sensors. This array was successfully applied for the chemoselective identification of 19 amino-acids, but also for the enantioselective discrimination between the l- and d-enantiomers.
