Synthesis and the Crystal Structure of a New Chiral 1D Metal-Organic Coordination Polymer Based on L-Prolineamide-Substituted Diarylacetylenedicarboxylic Acid Derivative

Molecules. 2022 Nov 30;27(23):8376. doi: 10.3390/molecules27238376.

Abstract

The new homochiral 1D metal-organic coordination polymer [Cu2(EDPB)•H2O]n was synthesized starting from the original 3,3'-ethyne-1,2-diylbis[6-(L-prolylamino)benzoic acid] (H4EDPB). The unique crystal structure of the new compound was established by powder X-ray diffraction. The [Cu2(EDPB)•H2O]n system shows catalytic activity and enantioselectivity in a Henry reaction of p-nitrobenzaldehyde with nitromethane.

Keywords: chiral diarylacetylenedicarboxylic acid derivative; homochiral metal–organic coordination polymer; powder X-ray diffraction.
