Abstract
Coordinative alignment uses x-ray diffraction to precisely and unambiguously determine the structure of molecules bound or crystallized within chiral metal organic frameworks.
Claims20
A method for use in diffraction analysis, such as x-ray, neutron, electron diffraction, to determine the structure and/or absolute configuration of target molecules, comprising:
- (a) coordinative aligning the molecules through covalent or ionic bonds within a metal organic framework (MOF), and/or (b) crystalizing the molecules within a chiral metal organic framework.
A composition comprising a coordinative aligned target molecule covalently or ionically bound within a metal organic framework.
