Assembly of a Chiral Metal-Organic FrameworkAssembly of a Chiral Metal-Organic Framework

The metal-organic framework above is constructed from the chiral precursor, (+)-camphoric acid and magnesium ions. The structure of this material is composed of novel Mg₁₂ cages, which encapsulate twelve water molecules (0D dots). The assembly process from solution was examined using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, where the basic building blocks (three-fold paddle-wheels) were discovered
