Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)97234-4

Bis-monensin derivatives were synthesized and characterized for the first time as chiral receptor molecules. Among them, o-xylene-bridged bis-monensin exhibited particularly excellent chiral recognition ability by the inclusion of chiral ammonium guest ca
