Spontaneous resolution of a 3D chiral polyoxometalate-based polythreaded framework consisting of an achiral ligand

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Jan 7:(1):58-60. doi: 10.1039/b714413j.

Abstract

Two enantiomerically 3D chiral POM-based architectures have been constructed based on the achiral ligand bbi, [V10O26](4-) polyoxoanion and mixed valence Cu(I/II) without a chiral auxiliary, and they represent the first examples of enantiomerically 3D POM-based compounds using achiral ligands.
