Enantiopure anion templated synthesis of a zeolitic metal–organic framework†
Abstract
Utilizing (R)-H3CIA as a chiral template, an unprecedented homochiral metal–organic framework (MOF) with zeotype GIS topology is obtained from achiral 1.4-DIB ligands and Zn(II) ions, which opens up a feasible approach to create zeolitic MOFs with homochirality.
