Binuclear Cu2+ complex mediated discrimination between L-glutamate and L-aspartate in water

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Jun 28:(24):3086-8. doi: 10.1039/b503417e. Epub 2005 May 13.

Abstract

L-glutamate and L-aspartate selectivity is achieved by the action of two Cu2+ metal ions rightly disposed in a cyclophane-type macrocyclic framework; electrochemical sensing of glutamate has been achieved by adsorption of the copper complexes on graphite electrodes.
