Abstract

A bicyclic pillar[5]arene derivative fused with a bipyridine side ring, a so-called molecular universal joint (MUJ), was synthesized, and the pair of enantiomers was resolved by high-performance liquid chromatography enantioresolution. The electrochemiluminescent detection based on the ruthenium complex of the enantiopure MUJ showed excellent chiral discrimination toward certain amino acids.
