Application

(1S,3R)-(−)-Camphoric acid can be used:
  • As an enantiomeric linker in the preparation of chiral surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (MOFs).
  • To prepare porous MOFs having multifunctional properties; used in gas adsorption and separation of racemic alcohols.
  • To prepare a cobalt(II) coordination polymer named {Co(phen)(H2O)[C8H14(COO)2]}n·(CH3OH)n , wherein “phen” is 1,10-phenanthroline and C8H14(COOH)2 is [(1S,3R)-camphoric acid.
