Description
Chiral coordination polymers have recently been explored as potential stationary phases for enantioselective separations.1 However, the chiral resolution ability of non-porous coordination polymers is not often tested.
In this work, two chiral 1D cobalt coordination polymers have been synthesised with an amino acid functionalized diimde ligand. The coordination polymers, which have little free pore space, have been tested for their chiral resolution abilities with 1-phenylethanol. Coordination polymer 1 shows a preference for one enantiomer over the other in both soaking experiments and preliminary ‘mini columns’, whereas a second structurally similar polymer shows no enantioselectivity thus far. Analyses are currently underway to further probe the chiral separation ability of the systems.
