Diastereoselective synthesis of O symmetric heterometallic cubic cages

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Mar 4;51(18):3804-7. doi: 10.1039/c5cc00087d.

Abstract

Enantiopure chiral cubic cages have been diastereoselectively synthesized for the first time. Chiral amines lead to the isolation of O symmetric homochiral cubic cages, while an achiral amine gives a racemic mixture. CD enhancement is observed as a result of configuration rigidity.
