Abstract

15-Crown-5-appended metalloporphyrin causes a K(+)-driven self-organization to bind a bifunctional guest ditopically, thereby allowing the circular dichroism (CD) detection of chirality induced in the ensemble when chiral amines are employed as the guest; the chiroptical properties are discussed.
