Popis: Development of chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is a challenging but important task. In this work, we report a first example of azapyrene-based chiral MOF thin films [Zn2Cam2DAP]n grown on functionalized substrates (named SURchirMOF-4) for CPL property. By using a liquid-phase epitaxial layer-by-layer method, the resulted SURchirMOF-4 was constructed from chiral camphoric acid and 2,7-diazapyrene ligand, which has high orientation and homogeneity. The circular dichroism, CPL, and enantioselective adsorption results show that SURchirMOF-4 has strong chirality and CPL property as well as good enantioselective adsorption toward enantiomers of methyl-lactate. The synthesis of azapyrene-based chiral MOF thin films not only represents an ideal model for studying the enantioselective adsorption, but also will be a valuable approach for development of the chiral thin film exhibiting CPL property.
