Abstract
A novel host-guest metal-organic compound with both chiral hydrophilic and achiral hydrophobic channels has been obtained through the reaction of Cd(II) ion and a versatile asymmetrical ligand of H(4)bptc (H(4)bptc = 1,1'-biphenyl-2,2',3,3'-tetracarboxylic acid) based on hydro(solvo)thermal reactions.
