Abstract
A new fluorescence macrocyclic receptor based on the Zn(II) complex of a C2-terpyridine and a crown ether has been developed for molecular recognition of zwitterionic amino acids in water/DMF solution with remarkable selectivity towards l-aspartate (K = 4.5 × 104 M−1) and l-cysteine (K = 2.5 × 104 M−1).
