Planar-chiral building blocks for metal-organic frameworks

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 21;51(23):4796-8. doi: 10.1039/c5cc00694e.

Abstract

The first example of a planar-chiral building block being used for chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is presented. The porous MOF structure combined with the chiral properties of the planar linker allows a selective adsorption, demonstrated for a nonpolar terpene limonene in thin surface-mounted MOF films.
