A pair of nonporous homochiral cobalt-based coordination polymers for enantioselective recognition and electrocatalysis

• A pair of nonporous homochiral enantiomers with interdigitated architecture.
• Enantioselective recognition and electrocatalysis behavior towards L- and/or D-tart.

A pair of nonporous enantiomers [Co(H2O)(bpy)(L-Mand)]
• H2O
• Cl (L-1) and [Co(H2O)(bpy)(L-Mand)]
• H2O
• Cl (D-1) (L-Mand = L-Mandelic acid, D-Mand = D-Mandelic acid, bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) with 3D supermolecule framework possess excellent enantioselective recognition and electrocatalysis ability towards L- and/or D-tart.
