Compound Zn(phen)3BDA (1) (BDA=6,6′-dibromo-2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-binaphthylene-4,4′-disul- fonate, phen= 1,10-phenanthroline) composes of the anion part (racemic-(R,S)-6,6′-dibromo-2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′- binaphthylene-4,4′-disulfonate ) and the cation part which consists of a racemic octahedrally coordinated zinc center defined six nitrogen atoms from three phen rings to form an inorganic chirality that can be resolution by chiral organic ligand, the 3D framework was formed through the strong H-bonding interaction between sulfonate and water. CCDC: 277924.
