Two enantiomeric Zn-MOFs, having l- or d-proline chiral functionality, were achieved through in situ click reactions by modifying two opposite chiral adducts within the same pre-assembled achiral MOFs, respectively. Both of them exhibited remarkable catalytic activities in the relative asymmetric aldol reactions, and led to the formation of opposite enantiomorphs. The significant advantage of this approach not only includes the conversion of chemically and thermally robust MOFs into enantiomeric chiral material having catalytically active sites, but also involves the potential applications in asymmetric transformations with desirable chiralities of a special enantiomorph.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
