Solvent-Directed Self-Assembly of Chiral Metal-Organic Cages and Coordination Polymers from Identical Components and Their Circularly Polarized Luminescence.
This work reports the solvent-directed synthesis, structures, and chiroptical properties of enantiomeric Zn(II) metal-organic cages (MOCs) and coordination polymers (CPs) assembled from identical subcomponents under the same conditions. Varying the DMF/MeOH ratio selectively produces either a discrete cubic cage (1-R/S...
