title: Chiral metal-organic porous materials: synthetic strategies and applications in chiral separation and catalysis.
abstract: In the light of growing demand for chiral purity in biological and chemical processes, the synthesis of chiral metal-organic porous materials (CMOPMs) have become immensely important because of their potential applications in chiral separation and asymmetric catalysis. In this chapter, the synthetic strategies for CMOPMs are discussed briefly keeping the focus on their applications. Two distinct approaches have been taken to synthesize a wide variety of chiral structures with different topologies and accessible cavities. Several CMOPMs have shown catalytic activity and enantioselectivity toward a number of chemical transformations. On many occasions, the chiral pores of the MOPMs have been utilized in order to achieve separation of enantiomers from racemates. Recent applications of homochiral MOPMs in heterogeneous asymmetric catalysis and chiral separations are also presented here.
