A chiral open-framework fluoroaluminophosphate with enantiomeric excess in the bulk product

A novel chiral open-framework fluoroaluminophosphate [C4N3H16][Al6P3O12F6(OH)6] was hydrothermally synthesized using diethylenetriamine as a structure-directing agent. The significant enantiomeric excess of the bulk product was confirmed by the solid state vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) spectrum.
