Abstract

Presented here is a homochiral three-dimensional diamondoid framework material, [Zn(AMTD)2]n generated through an unusual spontaneous asymmetrical crystallization from achiral precursors without any enantiopure additives, which first demonstrates that symmetry breaking could be driven by the cooperation of twisted framework topology and an asymmetrical ligand.
