switch between discrete phases (M 2+ = Cu 2+ or Zn 2+ ) or undergo a continuous swelling followed by discontinuous switching (M 2+ = Co 2+ or Ni 2+ ) upon adsorption of CO 2 from the gas phase. Paper published [...] different even in isostructural compounds possessing varying divalent metal ions M 2+ (i.e. Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ or Zn 2+ ). With the help of isothermal gas adsorption measurements and synchrotron X-ray [...] we establish melt-quenching as an effective route to transform the axially chiral molecule BINAP (2,2’-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1’-binaphthyl) into stable, optically transparent chiral molecular glasses …
