Abstract

Chiral coordination polymers constructed from mandelic acid have shown promise in enantioselective recognition and sensing, whereas its methoxy-protected derivative, α-methoxyphenyl acetic acid, is rarely used as a ligand in coordination polymers. In this study, mandelic acid, 3,5-difluoromandelic acid, and α-methoxyphenyl acetic acid were combined with divalent transition metals and bridging dipyridyl co-ligands to obtain a series of six 1D coordination polymers. The coordination polymers of mandelate and 3,5-difluoromandelate possessed densely packed structures stabilised by hydrogen bonding. In contrast, the use of (R)-α-methoxyphenyl acetic acid gave rise to zig-zag chains with significant solvent-accessible void space.

Keywords: chirality, enantioselective recognition, metal-organic frameworks, coordination polymer, crystal engineering, hydrogen bonding, mandelic acid, chiral pool molecule, transition metal.
