Abstract

Two cage-based boron imidazolate helices were prepared in achiral reaction systems by mixing a C3 symmetric rigid ligand, KBH(bim)3, and a long flexible dicarboxylic acid ligand. The presence of an appropriate chiral inducer can control the helical orientation of bulk samples, which further acts on the enantioselective separation of racemic 1-phenylethanol.
