Chiral syntheses and separations of both intermediate and final compounds are currently extremely important areas of research, especially for the chemical, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and biomedical industries. The authors are investigating the synthesis of new inorganic porous materials for enantiomeric selectivity. They present a study of inorganic zinc phosphate crystalline phases templated with the chiral molecule d-glucosamine hydrochloride. The crystallization of these phases is highly dependent on reaction time, temperature, and stoichiometry. Resultant new phases include a mesoporous phase and a layered phase. Data indicates that the walls of the new 32 {angstrom} sized mesoporous phase are crystalline and ordered. Characterization techniques applied include powder X-ray diffraction, TEM, and {sup 31}P MAS NMR.
