A family of isoreticular chiral metal− organic frameworks (CMOFs) of the primitive cubic network topology was constructed from [Zn4 (μ4-O)(O2CR) 6] secondary building units and systematically elongated dicarboxylate struts that are derived from chiral Mn-Salen catalytic subunits. CMOFs 1− 5 were synthesized by directly incorporating three different chiral Mn- Salen struts into the frameworks under solvothermal conditions, and they were ...
