Abstract

A chiral metal-organic framework formulated as [Zn3(L-TMTA)2(4,4′-bpy)4]·24H2O (1) was prepared from the reaction of Zn(NO3)2·6H2O with trimesoyltri(L-alanine) (L-TMTAH3) in the presence of 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bpy). Compound 1 features linear trinuclear secondary building blocks [Zn3(syn-syn-COO)223-COO)2]2+. Each linear trinuclear secondary building block is further linked to another eight ones around it by four L-TMTA3– ligands and eight 4,4′-bpy ligands, leading to the construction of a uninodal three-dimensional framework with triangular prism-like one-dimensional channels. Dehydrated compound 1 displays remarkable adsorption selectivity on CO2 and water vapour over N2 gas.
