In this study, six coordination polymers (CPs), {[Ag2(L)(CF3SO3)]·CF3SO3·2H2O·DMF}n (1), {[Ag(L)]·SbF6·4DMF·H2O}n (2), {[Zn(L)0.5(I)2]·3.75H2O}n (3), {[Cd2(L)(I)4(H2O)(DMF)]·4H2O·3DMF}n (4), {[Hg2(L)(I)4]·H2O·4DMF}n (5) and {[Hg2(L)(Cl)4]·2H2O·3DMF}n (6), were obtained based on the designed X-shaped urea-based ligand. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis revealed that complex 1 displayed a 3D (3,4)-connected {6·82}{64·82}-tcj net. Complex 2 featured a 2D 4-connected {43·63} sheet. Complexes 3 and 5 exhibited a 1D polymeric loop chain. Complex 4 displayed a 1D polymeric fishbone chain. Complex 6 showed a 2D 4-connected {44·62}-sql sheet. Structural comparison revealed that not only the metal ions, but also the anions played crucial roles in the control of final structures.

<p></p><p>Chiral molecules with their defined 3-D structures are of paramount importance for the study of chemical biology and drug discovery. Having rich structural diversity and unique stereoisomerism, chiral molecules offer a large chemical space that can be explored for the design of new therapeutic agents.<sup>1</sup> In practice, chiral architectures are usually prepared from organometallic and organocatalytic processes where a transition metal or an organocatalyst is tailor-made for a desired reaction. As a result, developing a method that enables rapid assembly of chiral complex molecules under a metal- and organocatalyst-free condition represents a daunting challenge. Here we developed a straightforward one-pot procedure to create a chiral 3-D structure from 2-D structures and an amino acid without any chiral catalyst. The center of this research is the design of a <a>special chiral spiroimidazolidinone cyclohexadienone intermediate</a>, a merger of a chiral reactive substrate with multiple nucleophillic/electrophillic sites and a transient organocatalyst. <a>This unique substrate-catalyst (“sub-catalyst”) dual role of the intermediate was displayed in its aza-Michael/Michael cascade reaction with an </a>α,β-unsaturated aldehyde under an iminium/enamine catalysis. <a>The enhanced co-ordinational proximity of the chiral substrate and catalyst</a> in the transition state resulted in a substantial steric discrimination and an excellent overall diastereoselectivity. Aza-tricylic molecules with six contiguous stereocenters were assembled from <i>N</i>-alkylated aminophenols, α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and chiral α-amino acids under a hidden “sub-catalysis” where the strategically produced “sub-catalyst” does not present in initial components of the reaction. The success of this methodology will pave the way for many efficient preparations of chiral complex molecules.</p><br><p></p>
