  1. null (Ed.)
    The efficiency and scope of two acyclic π-wall extended cucurbiturils, M2 and M3 , exhibiting rapidly interconverting helical conformers for chiroptical sensing of amines, amino acids, alcohols, and terpenes at micromolar concentrations in water is evaluated. The formation of 1 : 1 host–guest complexes results in spontaneous induction of circular dichroism signals that can be used for accurate determination of the absolute configuration and enantiomeric composition of the analyte based on a simple mix-and-measure protocol.

  3. Optical chirality sensing of unprotected amino acids, hydroxy acids, amino alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids based on a practical mix-and-measure protocol with readily available copper, iron, palladium, manganese, cerium or rhodium salts is demonstrated. The generation of strong cotton effects allows quantitative ee analysis of small sample amounts with high speed. In contrast to previously reported assays the use of chromophoric reporter ligands and the control of metal coordination kinetics and redox chemistry are not necessary which greatly simplifies the sensing procedure with the benefit of reduced waste production and cost.
