Two porous, chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), Ca(l-lactate)(acetate)(CHOH)(HO) (MOF-1201) and Ca(l-lactate)(acetate)(HO) (MOF-1203), are constructed from Ca ions and l-lactate [CHCH(OH)COO], where Ca ions are bridged by the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups of lactate and the carboxylate group of acetate to give a three-dimensional arrangement of Ca(-COO, -OH) polyhedra supporting one-dimensional pores with apertures and internal diameters of 7.8 and 9.6 Å (MOF-1201) and 4.
