Synthesis Novel Schiff Bases Derived From Ferrocene as a Chiral Sensor

Ferrocene and ferrocenyl compounds are widely used in fluorescence studies due to the realizing of energy and electron transfer [1]. In addition to the high selectivity, because of their potential applications in the fields of analytical, biological, clinical and biochemistry, enantioselective fluorescence sensor studies are listed in the literature [2]. Amino acids are important to obtain chiral receptor due to the being natural chiral molecule and excellent hydrogen bond made by amide bonds [3]. In this study the chiral compound 3 was synthesized and fluorescence properties of 3 was studied. When we investigated the fluorescence  changes after the interaction of this compound with various chiral amino acids (D-Methionine L-Methionine, D-Alanine, L-Alanine, D-Valine, L-Valine, D-Serine, L-Serine, D-Histidine, L-Histidine, DCysteine, L- Cysteine and D-Threonine, L-Threonine), it was seen that there is a visible change observed against the D-methionine unlike other aminoacids.
