The synthesis and structure of a chiral layered aluminophosphate containing the template Co(tn)33+
Abstract
A chiral layered aluminophosphate Co(tn)3·Al3P4O16·2H2O containing only one enantiomer of the metal complex is synthesized using racemic Co(tn)3Cl3 as the templating agent and its structure determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
