Rational design of BINOL-based diimidazolyl ligands: homochiral channel-like mono-component organic frameworks by hydrogen-bond-directed self-assembly†
Abstract
We have developed a synthetic strategy to selectively incorporate the imidazole ring into the 1,1′-bi-2-naphthol (BINOL) skeleton at the different position. The resulting conformationally rigid BINOL-based diimidazolyl
