Chiral uranyl-organic compounds assembled with achiral furandicarboxylic acid by spontaneous resolution

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Jul 28;49(59):6659-61. doi: 10.1039/c3cc42255k.

Abstract

Influenced by different cations in the self-assembly of chiral units, achiral (UOC-NH4, UOC-Ca) and chiral (UOC-Na) uranyl-organic compounds were obtained from achiral reactants. The photocatalytic activity of UOC-Na was also investigated.
