An unprecedented chiral porous 3D metal-organic framework self-assembled with 1D helical and double chain

A novel chiral 3D porous framework [Cu(tsgluO)(4,4-bipy)1.5]n
- 2.7n H2O (1) is formed via self-assembly of 1D right-handed helical chain and 1D ladder-like double chain. It presents the first examples of chiral porous MOFs constructed from amino acid derivatives between two distinct 1D polymer chains.
