Abstract
Charge-neutral chiral hosts are attractive due to their ability to recognize a wide range of guest functionalities and support enantioselective processes. However, reports on such charge-neutral cages are very scarce in the literature. Here, we report an enantiomeric pair of tetrahedral Pd(
ii
) cages built from chiral tris(imido)phosphate trianions and oxalate linkers, which exhibit enantioselective separation capabilities for epichlorohydrin, β-butyrolactone, and 3-methyl- and 3-ethyl cyclopentanone.
