By combining enantiomerically pure tectons with Cd(NO3)2, a series of six new homochiral luminescent coordination networks are formed. The dimensionality and crystal packing of the latter are modulated by both the nature of the chiral side chains and the crystallization solvents.

Tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenylsilane, and simple derivatives with substituents that do not engage in hydrogen bonding typically crystallize as close-packed structures with essentially no space available for the inclusion of guests. In contrast, derivatives with hydrogen-bonding groups are known to favor the formation of open networks that include significant amounts of guests. To explore this phenomenon, we synthesized six new derivatives 5a–5e and 6a of tetraphenylmethane and tetraphenylsilane with urethane and urea groups at the para positions, crystallized the compounds, and determined their structures by X-ray crystallography. As expected, all six compounds crystallize to form porous three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks. In the case of tetraurea 5e, 66% of the volume of the crystals is accessible to guests, and guests can be exchanged in single crystals without loss of crystallinity. Of special note are: (i) the use of tetrakis(4-isocyanatophenyl)methane (1f) as a precursor for making enantiomerically pure tetraurethanes and tetraureas, including compounds 5b, 5c; and (ii) their subsequent crystallization to give porous chiral hydrogen-bonded networks. Such materials promise to include chiral guests enantioselectively and to be useful in the separation of racemates, asymmetric catalysis, and other applications.Key words: crystal engineering, molecular tectonics, hydrogen bonding, networks, porosity, urethanes, ureas, tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenylsilane.

Enantiomerically pure trans-1,2-cyclohexanediol ((R,R) or (S,S)) based organic ligands act self-complementary units. In addition, their coordination behavior towards Cd2+ cation in the presence of N donor ancillary ligand was investigated.
