frontier in the development of chiral stationary phases for chromatographic enantioseparation involves homochiral metal–organic frameworks (MOFs). Using enantiopure (R)-2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthalene-6,6′-dicarboxylic acid as a starting material, we prepared three homochiral MOFs that were further used as chiral stationary phases for high-performanceliquidchromatography to separate the enantiomers
Two novel chiral coordination polymers were synthesized by treating C2-symmetric 2,2′-dihydroxy- and 2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphthalene-3,3′-dicarboxylic acids with Cu2+, in which sorption of some chiral β-lactam compounds in the frameworks occurred enantioselectively.
