Abstract:

Chirality is a universal phenomenon in nature. Chiral separation is vitally important in drug development, agricultural chemistry, pharmacology, environmental science, biology and many other fields. Chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a new group of porous materials with special topology and designable pore structures, as well as their high specific surface area, porosity, excellent thermal stability, solvent resistance, etc. Thus, chiral MOFs are promising with various applications in the field of analytical chemistry. This review summarizes the synthesis strategies of chiral MOFs and their applications in the selective separation of enantiomers, as well as related mechanism.

Key words: chiral separation, enantiomer, metal-organic frameworks, review, selective extraction
