Abstract:

      Chiral compounds have been increasingly applied in many fields such as pharmaceutics,asymmetric synthesis,and biological and clinical analysis.The development of a high efficient and sensitive technique is an urgent demand for the rapid determination of compositions of enantiomers.Chiral fluorescent sensors as a sensitive fast effective detection tool have attracted a high attention.Various chiral fluorescent sensors with high enantioselective and sensitive recognition for chiral compounds have been developed.In this paper,the recent progress of chiral fluorescent sensors with binol derivatives,calixarenes,polymers,nanomaterials,metal orgaic porous materials as the units for chiral enantiomers are reviewed and their applications are summarized.Also,the future trends of chiral fluorescent sensors are proposed.
