A homochiral microporous hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF-2) based on a BINOL derivative has been synthesized and structurally characterized to be a uninodal 6-connected {3(3)5(5)6(6)7} network. This new HOF exhibits not only a permanent porosity with the BET of 237.6 m(2) g(-1) but also, more importantly, a highly enantioselective separation of chiral secondary alcohols with ee value up to 92% for 1-phenylethanol.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
