A chiral open-framework fluorinated cobalt phosphate consists of distorted F-encapsulated double 4-ring units with bulk homochirality†
Abstract
A homochiral open-framework fluorinated cobalt phosphate with a 2-fold interpenetrating diamond topology was ionothermally synthesized. The significant enantiomeric excess of the bulk product was confirmed by strong signals in its solid state circular dichroism (CD) spectrum.
