AI Article Synopsis
- A family of homochiral metal carboxylate coordination polymers was created by combining a specific organic acid (H(2)BDA) with metal salts under heat.
- The BDA ligands help connect metal centers to form one-dimensional chains, while their hydroxyl groups create hydrogen bonds with carboxylate oxygen atoms, forming more complex three-dimensional structures.
- The study highlights how hydrogen bonds are crucial for stabilizing these open frameworks, enabling the construction of chiral porous materials.
Article Abstract
A family of homochiral metal carboxylate coordination polymers have been synthesized by treating 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthalene-6,6'-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)BDA) with metal salts at elevated temperatures. BDA ligands link adjacent metal centers to form 1D coordination polymeric chains using the carboxylate functionality, while the hydroxyl groups of BDA ligands form H-bonds with carboxylate oxygen atoms to link 1D coordination polymeric chains into open frameworks of higher dimensionality. We also present evidence for the important role played by H-bonds in the stabilization of open framework structures which allows for the hierarchical assembly of chiral porous solids.
