Chiral Crystalline Sponges for the Absolute Structure Determination of Chiral Guests
Chiral crystalline sponges with preinstalled chiral references were synthesized. On the basis of the known configurations of the chiral references, the absolute structures of guest compounds absorbed in the pores of the crystalline sponges can be reliably determined without crystallization or chemical modification.
