A homochiral porous metal-organic framework for enantioselective adsorption of mandelates and photocyclizaton of tropolone ethers.
A chiral porous metal-organic framework of an axially C2-symmetric 1,1'-biphenol ligand is constructed and can be used as a solid-state host to enanioselectively adsorb mandelates with up to 93.1% ee and to entrap achiral tropolone ethers and induce their asymmetric photocyclization with up to 98.5% ee.
