- Abstract
Circular dichroism is known to be the feature of a chiral agent which has inspired scientist to study the interesting phenomena of circularly polarized light (CPL) modulated molecular chirality. Although several organic molecules or assemblies have been found to be CPL-responsive, the influence of CPL on the assembly of chiral coordination compounds remains unknown. Herein, a chiral coordination polymer, which is constructed from achiral agents, was used to study the CPL-induced enantioselective synthesis. By irradiation with either left-handed or right-handed CPL during the reaction and crystallization, enantiomeric excesses of the crystalline product were obtained. Left-handed CPL resulted in crystals with a left-handed helical structure, and right-handed CPL led to crystals with a right-handed helical structure. It is exciting that the absolute asymmetric synthesis of a chiral coordination polymer could be enantioselective when using CPL, and provides a strategy for the control of the chirality of chiral coordination polymers.
