Abstract

Six homochiral coordination polymers 1–6 based on an enantiopure elongated and bent bipyridine ligand were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The framework structures of all six compounds were built up from similar 1D polymeric chains composed of 46-membered metallomacrocycles. Four distinct packing patterns were observed for this family of coordination polymers. With the exception of 1, the anions do not coordinate to the metal centers and reside in the open channels. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that the structures of these coordination polymers are sensitive to the anions even though they do not coordinate to the metal centers. The framework structures are somewhat tolerant of the change of metal centers and their local coordination environments. Gas sorption measurements on 1 suggest that chiral porous solids can be obtained with the present 1D coordination polymeric building blocks.
