"Homochiral octupolar metal-organoboron frameworks with the general formula [M2L(OH)(MeOH)]center dot 3H(2)O [M = Co (1), Mn (2), Ni (3), Cu (4), Zn (5), Cd (6)] have been constructed from racemic C-3-symmetric tris(4-benzoic acid)tridurylborane and the divalent metal ions," investigators in Shanghai, People's Republic of China report.
"Compounds 1-6 are isostructural and crystallize in the chiral cubic space group F432, and they adopt an eightfold-interpenetrating (10,3)-a network formed by linking bimetal building blocks with three bidentate carboxylate groups of bridging Lambda-L ligands. Bulk crystals of each of the six compounds are not a racemic mixture, ...
