Abstract

We report the asymmetric synthesis of homochiral metal-organic materials (MOMs) in chiral gels from achiral components. The enantioselectivity of MOMs depends on the chirality of the gel, whereas the synthesis performed in solution phase and achiral gels resulted in conglomerates.

Keywords: chiral induction; enantioselective synthesis; metal-organic materials; solid-state CD; supramolecular gel phase synthesis.
