Abstract:
We demonstrate the possibility to detect selectively the two single enantiomers of a model [Ru(bpy)3]2+-based dye by circularly polarized-electrochemiluminescence (CP-ECL). This new aspect of the ECL emission combines the chiral information intrinsic to CPL methods with an electrogeneration of the excited state. Thus, it opens the possibility to perform ECL-based bioassays or microscopy with efficient chiral dyes.
