Abstract
Using a racemic mixture of chiral metal complex Co(en) 3Cl 3 as a template, two novel zinc phosphates [Co(en) 3] · [Zn 8P 6O 24Cl] · 2H 2O (1) and [Co(en) 3] 2 · [Zn 6P 8O 32H 8] (2) have been prepared hydrothermally. Single-crystal structureal analysis demonstrates that both compounds contain chiral inorganic structural motifs and that the enantiomers of the chiral complex are separated orderly as Δ and Δ configurations in the inorganic host. This work studies the chiral transference from the chiral metal complex to the inorganic framework.
