Controlling the synthesis of novel chiral polyoxometalate-based compounds and racemic compounds from the same system.
A pair of enantiomers and one racemic compound have been constructed in the absence of any outside chiral influence. The enantiomers represent the first chiral configuration based on s-block cation linked 1D chain. Meanwhile, the racemic compound comprised of two chiral units shows centrosymmetric structure due to spatial structural symmetry.
