Toward Engineering Chiral Rodlike Metal-Organic Frameworks with Rare Topologies.
The establishment of novel design strategies to target chiral rodlike MOFs, elusively faced until now, is one of the most straightforward manners to widen the scope of MOFs. Here we describe our last advances on the application of the metalloligand design strategy toward the development of efficient routes to obtain chiral rodlike MOFs. To this end, we have used as precursor an enantiopure homochiral hexanuclear wheel (1), derived from the amino acid d-valine, which, after a supramolecular reorganization into a one-dimensional homochiral chain-with the same configuration as 1-led to the formation of a homochiral rodlike MOF (2) exhibiting rare etd topology.
The Cation as a Tool to Get Spin-Canted Three-Dimensional Iron(III) Networks
Alkyl-substituted ammonium cations (X) allow the preparation of a series of spin-canted oxo- and oxalato-bridged three-dimensional iron(III) networks, exhibiting magnetic ordering at T(c) values ranging from 40 to 56 K. The value of T(c) varies with the cation despite the lack of significant structural modifications.
