Abstract

Three types of channel - right- (R) and left-handed (L) helical, and achiral (A) - alternate along the c axis in the structure of the title compound (see picture). The catalytically active groups of the 1-phosphonomethylproline ligands are directed into the channels, thus suggesting applications of this material in asymmetric catalysis. (Figure presented).
