Abstract

Through judicious choice of the ligands and patient regulation of the solvent conditions, three unique chiral coordination polymeric isomers have been synthesized. Their structures, gas adsorption, and structural interconversion have been studied. One of the isomers displays dynamic behavior, and its use in the enantioselective separation of chiral alcohols has also been reported.
