This work studies the separation of chiral molecules by varying the concentration of a binol linker within a MOF. By incorporting fixed amounts of the link in the MOF varying degrees of separation is hypothesized to occur. The MOF system studied is a PIZOF-2 MOF containing four phenyl rings (PPPP). Expansion of the work includes a four phenyl ring system with ethynyl groups between thet two outer rings (PEPPEP), as well as a six pheny ring system (PPPPPP). Varying the size of the pore is hypothesized to allow chiral molecules of larger sizes to be separated.
