Solid-state reshaping of nanostructured crystals: supramolecular chirality of layered materials derived from polyethylenoxa-pillared zirconium phosphate

摘要

The pillaring of gamma-zirconium phosphate with either dissymmetric or non-dissymmetric polyethylenoxa diphosphonates leads to organic-inorganic nanostructures, in which the coiling of organic columns is the source of supramolecular chirality and chiral memory.
