Manganese and Magnesium Homochiral Materials: Decoration of Honeycomb Channels with Homochiral Chains

Abstract
Five homochiral open-framework materials based on manganese and magnesium camphorates exhibit homochiral connectivity from one- to three-dimensions, highlighting the versatility of the synthetic system reported here. Two compounds contain a column of homochiral chains lining up the honeycomb channels of 3-D metal−oxygen frameworks, an unusual feature previously unobserved in inorganic−organic hybrids.
