Abstract

Special asymmetric crystallization of porous framework materials from achiral precursors under urothermal conditions is successfully achieved by using an enantiopure liquid as a co-solvent and chirality induction agent, which provides a new strategy for the synthesis of homochiral porous materials containing only achiral building blocks.
