Asymmetric catalysis is essential for addressing the increasing demand for enantiopure compounds. Recent advances in reticular chemistry have demonstrated that metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) possess highly regular porous architectures, exceptional tunability, and the ability to incorporate chiral functionalities through their open channels or cavities. These characteristics make them highly effective and enantioselective catalysts for a wide range of asymmetric transformations.

The chirality of metal-organic cages holds enormous potential for novel applications in diverse fields, while it is relatively rare to employ such asymmetric units for the construction of noncentrosymmetric materials. Herein, by self-assembling the 4,4',4''-nitrilotribenzoic acid (HNBA) with bis(cyclopentadienyl)-zirconium dichloride (CpZrCl, Cp=η-CH) in different solvent conditions, we have obtained three hierarchical packing modes of metallo-tetrahedra with distinct spatial symmetry groups (designated as Zr-α, Zr-β, and Zr-γ). Among them, Zr-α employs a simple cubic arrangement and is a common centrosymmetric superstructure, which consists of a pair of equimolar metallo-tetrahedra enantiomers in its unit cell.

The dynamic interplay of coordination bonds within metal-organic cages offers a unique avenue for structural evolution in response to external stimuli, presenting a promising strategy for the construction of chiral assemblies. This adaptability is crucial for the selective synthesis of homochiral assemblies and advancement of asymmetric catalysis. In this study, we report the self-assembly of an achiral square-planar Pd(II) acceptor with a C-symmetric tetrapyridyl donor resulted in the formation of a racemic mixture of the chiral octahedral cage PdL.

On-surface polymerization of functional organic molecules has been recently recognized as a promising route to persistent low-dimensional structures with tailorable properties. In this contribution, using the coarse-grained Monte Carlo simulation method, we study the initial stage of the Ullmann coupling of doubly halogenated chrysene isomers adsorbed on a catalytically active (111) crystalline surface. To that end, we focus on the formation of labile metal-organic precursor structures preceding the covalent bonding of chrysene monomers.

Although several studies related with the electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technique have been reported for chiral discrimination, it still has to face some limitations, namely, complex synthetic pathways and a relatively low recognition efficiency. Herein, this study introduces a facile strategy for the synthesis of ECL-active chiral covalent organic frameworks (COFs) employed as a chiral recognition platform. In this artificial structure, ruthenium(II) coordinated with the dipyridyl unit of the COF and enantiopure cyclohexane-1,2-diamine was harnessed as the ECL-active unit, which gave strong ECL emission in the presence of the coreactant reagent (KSO).
