Chiral template induced homochiral MOFs built from achiral components: SHG enhancement and enantioselective sensing of chiral alkamines by ion-exchange.
A pair of chiral template induced anionic homochiral frameworks constructed from achiral components has been synthesized. Ion-exchange of counter cations with polar or chiral organic cations enhances the SHG efficiency of the frameworks. The enantioselective sensing of chiral alkamines can be achieved by the SHG response.
