Two‐armed chiral anion receptors ( 1 and 2 ), calix[4]arenes bearing dansyl fluorophore and (1 R ,2 R )‐ or (1 S ,2 S )‐1,2‐diphenylethylenediamine binding sites, were prepared and examined for their chiral amino acid anion binding abilities by the fluorescence spectra in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The results of non‐linear curve fitting indicate that 1 or 2 forms a 1:1 stoichiometry complex with N ‐acetyl‐ L ‐ or D ‐aspartate by multiple hydrogen bonding interactions, exhibiting good enantioselective fluorescent recognition for the enantiomers of N ‐acetyl‐aspartate, [receptor 1 : K ass( D ) / K ass( L ) =6.74; receptor 2 : K ass( L ) / K ass( D ) =6.48]. The clear fluorescent response difference indicates that receptors 1 and 2 could be used as a fluorescent chemosensor for N ‐Acetyl‐aspartate.
