title: Chirality and magnetism of an open-framework cobalt phosphite containing helical channels from achiral materials.
abstract: A new chiral open-framework cobalt phosphite [C6N2H14][Co(HPO3)2] (1) with helical channels has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions in the presence of achiral organic amine. The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum indicates that the bulk crystals have optical activity. Magnetic measurements reveal that 1 is a weak ferromagnet.
