ABSTRACT
Chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs), a class of highly crystalline and porous materials with tailorable chiral characteristics, have currently become an interdisciplinary between chirality chemistry, coordination chemistry, and material chemistry, which involve in many subjects including chemistry, physics, optics, medicine, pharmacology, biology, crystal engineering, environmental science, etc. Their special structural features such as porosity, modularity, and chirality, have endowed them with a variety of unique effects in promoting enantioselective processes, particularly asymmetric catalysis. Here, we provide a brief review of the state of the CMOF field from the privileged ligand design to the heterogeneous enantioselective catalysis. We hope that this review will provide researchers a better understanding of CMOF chemistry and facilitate the future research endeavors for rationally designing privileged chiral framework materials for challenging catalytic applications.
