“…Chiral ligands can be used for the generation of homochiral porous MOFs, or chirality can be induced from the arrangement of achiral ligands within the structure. [54][55][56][57] Among the chiral ligands available, [58][59][60][61][62][63][64] bio-ligands, such as natural occurring peptides, are structurally rich and versatile with numerous metal binding sites. However, robust and highly porous MOFs based on these ligands are scarce in the literature.…”

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are extended structures composed of a network of organic ligands and metal ions or clusters connected to each other via coordination bonds. The numerous choices of organic ligands and metal coordination geometries have led to the construction of porous MOFs with various compositions, network topologies, pore sizes and shapes and they possess high surface areas and low densities. The structures of MOFs can be tailor-tuned in such a way that any desired ligand or/and metal ion can be incorporated; this has given to researchers the advantage of designing MOFs for a targeted application. Within this review, we overview recent examples of a sub-class of MOFs namely biologically derived MOFs (bio-MOFs), made of multifunctional and commercially available biologically derived ligands (bio-ligands) such as: amino acids, peptides, nucleobases and saccharides and focus on their coordination chemistry with a variety of metals. Central to this review are four tables detailing the coordination modes of bio-ligands to metals, along with a visual representation of the bio-MOF that is subsequently formed. Through the detail analysis of these structures, we highlight the structural impact of these ligands on the structure, and their contribution to the MOFs properties and applications. Finally, we showcase the potential of bio-MOFs in several research areas such as CO2 capture, separation, catalysis, drug delivery and sensing.

“…In the presence of small amounts of the nature alkaloids ( − )-cinchonidine or ( + )-cinchonine, homochiral MOFs (Me 2 NH 2 )[In(thb) 2 ] · xDMF ( 11 ) were crystallized from achiral building blocks (H 2 thb refers to thiophenen-2,5-dicarboxylic acid). [ 56 ] MOF materials of opposite chirality could be obtained when they were prepared in the presence of ( − )-cinchonidine or ( + )-cinchonine. In the absence of chiral alkaloid, the resulting products were found to be racemic twins, further demonstrating the chirality induction effect of natural alkaloids.…”

Owing to the potential applications in technological areas such as gas storage, catalysis, separation, sensing and nonlinear optics, tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) over the past ten years. Homochiral porous MOFs are particularly attractive candidates as heterogeneous asymmetric catalysts and enantioselective adsorbents and separators for production of optically active organic compounds due to the lack of homochiral inorganic porous materials such as zeolites. In this review, we summarize the recent research progress in homochiral MOF materials, including their synthetic strategy, distinctive structural features and latest advances in asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis and enantioselective separation.

“…At present, anumber of different new MOFs based on thiophenes and their derivatives have been syntheseda nd structurally characterized. However, thiophene-based MOFs are rather limited in comparision with other MOFs and most of the work has been devoted in synthesizing and characterization of MOFs built from 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid and 3,4-thiophenedicarboxylic acid [5][6][7][8]. Considerings tructural rigidity, 4-nitro-thiophene-2-carboxylic acid is agood candidate for the construction of MOFs.…”
