So far, the synthesis of chiral framework with achiral organic ligand still faces great challenge. Herein, three new coordinated complexes [Zn(btca)Cl]·DMA·N(CH₃)₂ (1), [Zn(btca)(Ac^-)]·N(CH₃)₂ (2) and [Zn(btca)]·H₂O (3) (DMA = N,N-dimethylacetamide, btca = benzotriazole-5-carboxylate acid) were synthesized via different methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that compounds 1 and 2 were isostructural and showed achiral layer network with fes topology, and 3 presented a chiral three-dimensional framework with eta topology. The result of this work has demonstrated that urothermal synthesis will be promising means of constructing chiral framework with achiral building block. Compound 3 also displayed an excellent property of iodine uptake.
