1. An analytical method comprising:
providing a sample potentially containing a chiral analyte that can exist in stereoisomeric forms; providing a racemic mixture of a probe having the formula Am-MRn—Yo, wherein:
each A is independently a chiral ligand that undergoes rapid stereoisomeric interconversion,M is a metal,each R is independently a metal coordinating ligand,each Y is independently a displaceable ligand,m is an integer from 1 to 6, andn and o are each independently an integer from 0 to 6, wherein the sum of m, n, and o is from 1 to 6; contacting the sample with the racemic mixture under conditions effective to form probe-analyte complexes; and determining, based on the probe-analyte complexes that form, the stereoisomeric excess of the analyte in the sample and/or the concentration of the analyte in the sample. |
