Spontaneous resolution and absolute configuration of a coordination polymer formed by MnII and a ferrocene-based bisnitronyl nitroxide radical

Chem Commun (Camb). 2002 Oct 21:(20):2342-3. doi: 10.1039/b205722k.

Abstract

Crystallisation of a ferrocenyl bis(nitronyl nitroxide) with manganese(II) bis(hexafluoroacetylacetonate) gives rise to spontaneous resolution of a coordination polymer formed by the two units creating seven sources of chirality.
