title: Homochiral metal-organic frameworks for heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis.
abstract: Homochiral crystallizations of two enantiomeric metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) Ce-MDIP1 and Ce-MDIP2 were achieved by using L- or D-BCIP as chiral inductions, respectively, where the chiralities were characterized by solid state CD spectra. Ce-MDIPs exhibit excellent catalytic activity and high enantioselectivity for the asymmetric cyanosilylation of aromatic aldehydes; the homochiral Cd-TBT MOF having L-PYI as a chiral adduct exhibits stereochemical catalysis toward the Aldol reactions.
