The SerCdOAc structure is three dimensional, while that of the Zn(Ser)(2) is two dimensional. The polar voids of the corresponding MOFs are filled with solvent molecules (water in the case of SerCdOAc and methanol in the case of Zn(Ser)(2)). In both cases, metal centres, i.e., Zn(II) and Cd(II), are hexacoordinated. However, with a change in the solvent for synthesis, ligand coordination mode and incorporation of additional coordinated anion resulted in a great change in the final MOF architecture. Herein, for the first time, we could achieve structural variety and synthesize MOFs composed of only metal ion and pyridyl functionalized amino acid linker.</p>10aAmino acid10acrystal engineering10ahydrogen bonding10ametal organic framework1 aKundu, Tanay1 aBanerjee, Rahul  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/structural-diversity-serine-derived-homochiral-metal-organic-frameworks-0
