3D porous Mn(II) coordination polymer with left-handed 41 helical chains as building subunits: Selective gas adsorption of CO2 over CH4 and anticancer activity evaluation

Presented here is a new Mn(II) coordination polymer, namely [Mn(bptc)0.5(e-urea)]n (1 H4bptc = biphenyl-3,3′,5,5′-tetracarboxylic acid, e-urea = 2-imidazolidone), which features a homochiral 3D porous framework based on left-handed 41 helical Mn(II)-carboxylate chains as building subunits.164
