This invention provides an ultra-chiral
covalent organic framework, its preparation method, and its applications, belonging to the field of chiral
covalent organic framework materials. It aims to solve the technical problem of
racemization of chiral signals caused by existing high-temperature
synthesis methods. First, a C3-symmetric
aldehyde monomer is reacted with a chiral monoamine in an
alcohol solvent to generate a 1:1 precursor molecule. Then, an achiral
diamine is added, and ligand exchange and chiral transfer are performed at
room temperature to form a trilobal
propeller-structured
macromolecule with pure uniform
chirality. Finally, long-range conjugation and
crystallization are completed via a water bath or air bath, followed by washing and
drying to obtain the target product. The obtained material exhibits ultra-high chiral
signal, with a
circular dichroism spectral
signal intensity CD≈±2,000 mdeg and an
asymmetry factor g. abs The chiral stability reached ±0.085, and a
cascade chiral amplification effect of up to 200-fold was observed. Furthermore, the material exhibited excellent chiral stability, maintaining its stability for at least 5 years. In addition, it can be used as a recognition
reagent, capable of distinguishing at least seven pairs of
amino acid enantiomers and five other
small molecule enantiomers.
