Abstract:
Chiral-layered building motifs of zinc(II) camphorate are linked through linear N-donor ligands, forming series of three-dimensional isoreticular porous homochiral frameworks. The lengths of these linear ligands control the pore sizes and free accessible volumes of the homochiral metal-organic structures.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
