title: Homochiral Zn and Cd coordination polymers containing amino acid-tetrazole ligands.
abstract: The reactions of (S)-3-cyanophenylalanine with NaN(3) in the presence of H(2)O and Lewis acids (ZnCl(2) and CdCl(2)) afford two unprecedented 3D homochiral networks, mono[(S)-5-(3-tetrazoyl)-phenylalaninato]zinc(II) (1) and mono[(S)-5-(3-tetrazoyl)-phenylalaninato]cadmium(II) monoaqua(II) (2), respectively. The two compounds are isostructural with noninterpenetrated SrAl(2) topology. The structure of these coordination polymers gives new insight into Sharpless' reaction of chiral 5-substituted 1H-tetrazole and homochiral supramolecular array constructions.
