Highly Porous, Homochiral Metal–Organic Frameworks: Solvent‐Exchange‐Induced Single‐Crystal to Single‐Crystal Transformations

Abstract

Change and change about: Highly porous, homochiral metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) undergo reversible single-crystal to single-crystal and single-crystal to amorphous to single-crystal structural transformations when exposed to solvent vapors or air. These results suggest that true heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts can be built from homochiral MOFs.
