Manganese and magnesium homochiral materials: Decoration of honeycomb channels with homochiral chains
Five homochiral open-framework materials based on manganese and magnesium camphorates exhibit homochiral connectivity from one- to three-dimensions, highlighting the versatility of the synthetic system reported here. Two compounds contain a column of homochiral chains lining up the honeycomb channels of 3-D metal-oxygen frameworks, an unusual feature previously unobserved in inorganic-organic hybrids.
