title: A homochiral vanadium-salen based cadmium bpdc MOF with permanent porosity as an asymmetric catalyst in solvent-free cyanosilylation.
abstract: A homochiral vanadium-salen based MOF with the pcu topology is constructed via in situ synthesis under solvothermal conditions. The synthesized MOF exhibits BET surface areas of 574 m(2) g(-1), showing the highest H2 adsorption capacity (1.05 wt% at 77 K, 1 bar) and the highest CO2 uptake (51 cm(3) g(-1) at 273 K, 1 bar) for currently known salen-based MOFs. This framework shows excellent performance as an asymmetric catalyst in solvent-free cyanosilylation.
