Chiral porous organic frameworks for asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis and gas chromatographic separation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Dec 11;50(95):14949-52. doi: 10.1039/c4cc07648f.

Abstract

Three chiral robust diene-based porous organic frameworks (POFs) are prepared. POF- is shown to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst after metallation for asymmetric conjugation addition with up to 93% ee, and it can also function as a new chiral stationary phase for gas chromatographic separation of racemates.
