Single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation involving release of bridging water molecules and conversion of chain helicity in a chiral three-dimensional metal-organic framework.
An unprecedented release of the bridging aqua molecules and conversion of chain helicity within a 3-D chiral cadmium(ii) dicarboxylate coordination polymer was observed in a unique and drastic single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation of dehydration.
