description New highly lipophilic enantiopure crown ethers containing a heterocyclic unit have been synthesized. Phase transport, UV-Vis- and fluorescence spectrophotometric investigations as well as electrochemical studies on the complexation of the new macrocycles with several amine and amino acid derivatives were also carried out. Achiral amines were used for studying the structural preference of the new macrocycles. Among the studied structural features of the guest molecules, the intermolecular <i>π</i>-<i>π</i> interaction showed the most significant effect on complexation, which made the aralkylamine-type compounds the most preferable guest molecules. The studied liquid membrane-based applications and photophysical investigations showed appreciable enantiomeric recognition toward some aralkylamine model compounds with homochiral preferences. New crown ether derivatives (<i>R</i>,<i>R</i>)-<b>2</b> and (<i>S</i>,<i>S</i>)-<b>2</b> were successfully applied as enantioselective carrier and sensor molecules.
