The prospect of generating functional solids by rational design has spurred a recent explosive growth of interest in research into metal–organic frameworks (MOFs).[1, 2] A particular focus in this research area has been placed upon porous MOFs because of their intrinsic zeolitemimicking, size-and shape-selective properties which make them potentially useful in a number of applications such as catalysis,[3] gas storage,[4] separation,[5] and ion-exchange processes.[6] By taking advantage of the mild conditions that are typically used for the synthesis of MOFs, we and others have successfully synthesized catalytically active homochiral porous MOFs by incorporating chiral constituent building blocks that contained orthogonal functionalities.[7] The single-crystalline nature of MOFs allows detailed structural interrogation, which makes it possible to examine the relationship between the structure and the catalytic activity of homochiral porous MOFs in great detail. A detailed understanding of the structure–activity relationship is key to further fine-tuning the catalytic performance of MOFs by judicious choice of building blocks. Herein we report two homochiral porous MOFs built from the same chiral bridging ligand and metal connecting point. Their drastically different catalytic activities are readily rationalized on the basis of their different framework structures.Colorless crystals of [Cd3L4 (NO3) 6]· 7 MeOH· 5 H2O (1) were synthesized by slow diffusion of diethyl ether into a mixture of Cd (NO3) 2· 4 H2O and (R)-6, 6’-dichloro-2, 2’-dihydroxy-1, 1’-binaphthyl-4, 4’-bipyridine (L)[8] in DMF/CHCl3/MeOH at RT (Scheme 1). Compound 1 crystallizes in the tetragonal P4122 space group with 1.5 CdII centers in the asymmetric unit.[9] The first (half-occupied) CdII center is octahedrally coordinated to four L ligands (CdÀN= 2.310–2.317) in the equatorial positions and to two nitrate oxygen atoms (CdÀO= 2.356) in the axial positions, while the second CdII center is heptacoordinated to two bidentate nitrate groups (CdÀO= 2.317–2.552), one nitrate oxygen
