Homochiral and heterochiral Mn(II) coordination frameworks: spontaneous resolution dependent on dipyridyl ligands

摘要

An unsymmetric tetracarboxylic ligand collaborates with 4,4'-bipyridine to induce spontaneous resolution to form homochiral 3D coordination frameworks, while the use of longer dipyridyl ligands instead of 4,4'-bipyridine leads to isoreticular but heterochiral frameworks.
