A receptor assembly composed of iron(II) triflate and pyridine-2,6-dicarbaldehyde was used to determine the enantiomeric excess (ee) of alpha-chiral primary amines using circular dichroism spectroscopy. The alpha chiral amines condense with the dialdehyde to form a diimine, which forms a 2:1 octahedral complex with iron(II). The ee values of unknown concentrations of alpha-chiral amines were determined by constructing calibration curves for each amine and then measuring the ellipticity at 600 nm ...[more]
