Spontaneous resolution upon crystallization of chiral La(III) and Gd(III) MOFs from achiral dihydroxymalonate.
The achiral chelating and bridging dihydroxymalonato (mesoxalato) ligand is a new enantiopurity enforcer in extended structures by yielding the Λ/Δ-metal configured homochiral MOFs 2D-[Ln(2)(μ-mesoxalato)(3)(H(2)O)(6)] (Ln = La(III), Gd(III)) through self-resolution during crystal growth.
