Abstract

While it is not uncommon to form chiral crystals during crystallization, the formation of bulk porous homochiral materials from achiral building units is rare. Reported here is the homochiral crystallization of microporous materials through the chirality induction effect of natural alkaloids. The resulting material possesses permanent microporosity and has a uniform pore size of 9.3 A.
