Coordinative Alignment in the Pores of MOFs for the Structural Determination of N-, S-, and P-Containing Organic Compounds Including Complex Chiral Molecules

Coordinative alignment of target small molecules onto a chiral metal–organic framework (MOF-520)provides a powerful method to determine the structures of small molecules through single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD). In this work, the structures of 17 molecules with eight new coordinating functionalities and varying size have been determined by this method, four of which are complex molecules being crystallized for the first time. The...
