Abstract: Using UV-Vis spectrophotometer technique, the association constants of chiral molecular recognition reaction were measured between Salen Zn and series D- and L-amino acid esters in CHCl3. The association constants decrease in the orders of K(LeuOMe) >K(ValOMe)>K(AlaOMe); K(ThrOMe)>K (SerOMe)>K(TyrOMe) and K(D)>K(L). The thermodynamic parameters were determined by Van't Hoff equation. The phenomenon of enthalpy-entropy compensation and enan-tiomer selection were discussed. In addition, the theory studies by means of molecular mechanics and quantum chemistry computation were performed, which gave the reasonable explanation for the experimental results and the behavior of molecular recognition.
