“…Molecules 2-18 contain no aromatic groups and thus show no CD signals at the wavelength above 200 nm;while molecules 19-31 contain one phenyl group and show weak/negligible CD signals at the common concentrations ( Figures S1-S5). Chiroptical sensing of some of these molecules (2-4, [22] 8-11, 22,a nd 23 [7,23] 15-17 and 26-28, [24] 30, [25] 31 [4] )h ave been achieved with other sensor assays,but others (5-7, 12-14, 18, 21, 24, 25, 29)a re not reported presumably because it is too challenging for the known sensors.For example,bisporphyrin tweezer [26] is able to give induced CD in the presence of many epoxy alcohols but shows no CD signals when adding epoxy alcohol 5-an important intermediate in organic synthesis.…”
