A naphthyridine-based receptor for sensing citric acid
摘要:
A naphthyridine-based charge neutral receptor has been designed and synthesized. Its complexation with a series of carboxylic acids involved in the Krebs cycle has been studied by H-1 NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence methods. The receptor shows strong binding to citric acid (K-a = 1.60 x 10(5) M-1) and is also able to distinguish diastereomeric maleic acid from fumaric acid by fluorescence. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
