TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: Two enantiomeric MOFs are developed to prompt the asymmetric α-alkylation of aliphatic aldehydes in a heterogeneous manner and it is demonstrated that the integration of both photocatalyst and asymmetric organocatalyst into a single MOF makes the enantioselection superior to that of simply mixing the corresponding MOFs with the chiral adduct.

TL;DR: A simple comparison of relative porous MOFs suggested that the cross-section of the channels is an important factor influencing the transport of the substrates and products through the channel.

TL;DR: By incorporating a pyrrolidine moiety as a chiral organocatalyst and a polyoxometalate as an oxidation catalyst, a powerful approach is devised to achieve a tandem catalyst for the efficient conversion of CO2 into value-added enantiomerically pure cyclic carbonates.

TL;DR: The tunable and modular nature of the two-dimensional metal-organic polymers makes the catalyst-embedding strategy promising for the development of ideal photocatalysts toward the better utilization of solar energy.
