A combination of the “pillaring” strategy and chiral induction: an approach to prepare homochiral three-dimensional coordination polymers from achiral precursors

Abstract

Utilizing enantiopure camphorsulfonic acid as a chiral induction agent, 3D homochiral complexes were obtained from achiral 2D layers and MoO₄²⁻ pillars. This methodology combines the “pillaring” strategy with chiral induction, providing a new way to synthesize homochiral 3D coordination polymers intentionally from achiral precursors.
