Abstract:
The first fluorescent hemicryptophane cage was synthesized and developed as an efficient and selective sensor for choline phosphate. The heteroditopic character of the host in the recognition process was evidenced. NMR experiments highlight a full encapsulation of the guest, inducing the chiralisation-like behavior of the achiral choline phosphate.
