Enhanced fluorescence and chiral discrimination for tartaric acid in a dual fluorophore boronic acid receptor

Chem Commun (Camb). 2005 Apr 14:(14):1889-91. doi: 10.1039/b418279k. Epub 2005 Feb 9.

Abstract

The addition of D-tartaric acid to R,R- causes a large increase in fluorescence. While addition of L-tartaric acid to R,R- only produces small changes in fluorescence.
