Abstract

Chiral discrimination of malates in aqueous solutions at near-neutral pH is achieved through fluorescence measurement and imaging using the europium–tetracycline complex (EuTc) as a fluorescent probe. The method is based on the significantly different fluorescence properties of the ternary complexes (Eu–Tc–malate) formed between EuTc and the enantiomeric malates. The enantiomeric excess (ee) of ...
