Two achiral aromatic carboxylic acids that included the 1,8-naphthalimide group and an imidazolium cation were synthesized and exploited as chiroptical sensors. These compounds showed the real-time discrimination and enantiomeric excess determination of chiral amines and amino alcohols via an acid-base interaction, especially for UV-silent chiral compounds.
