Chiral covalent organic frameworks (CCOFs) are emerging porous materials with tunable chiral structures, abundant pores, and high surface areas, gaining significant attentions in separation, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis. This review summarizes the synthesis methods of CCOFs and their applications in chiral recognition. It discusses the advantages and limitations of three synthesis strategies, including chiral post-modification, direct synthesis, and chiral-induced synthesis. The review also highlights the potential of CCOFs in chiral separation, sensing, and asymmetric catalysis for efficient purification, detection, and synthesis of chiral molecules. Challenges and future directions for the preparation and application of CCOFs are also addressed, aiming to guide further research and practical applications.

Archimedean spirals are architectural motifs that are found in nature. The facial asymmetry of amphiphilic molecules or macromolecules has been a key parameter in the preparation of these well-organized two-dimensional nanostructures in the laboratory. This facial asymmetry is also present in the helical grooves of chiral helical substituted poly(phenylacetylene)s (PPAs) and poly(diphenylacetylene)s (PDPAs), making them excellent candidates for self-assembly into 2D Archimedean nanospirals or nanotoroids.

The functionality of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) is usually highly related to their morphologies. Among various morphologies, the hollow-structured COFs have recently attracted intense attention due to their unique properties. Herein, the synthesis of hollow structured COFs are first reported with the chiral internal sites via combining the chiral templating method with the acid etching approach.

At present, two competing hyperpolarization (HP) techniques, dissolution dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) and parahydrogen (para-H) induced polarization (PHIP), can generate sufficiently high liquid state C signal enhancement for in vivo studies. PHIP utilizes the singlet spin state of para-H to create non-equilibrium spin populations. In hydrogenative PHIP, para-H is irreversibly added to unsaturated precursors, typically in the presence of a homogeneous catalyst.

The present study utilizes density functional theory (DFT) to systematically investigate the effect of a ligand on the mechanism of nickel-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic -sulfonyl imines, employing alcohol protons as the hydrogen source. By comparing the free energies of three catalytic pathways involving various coordinated nickel complexes with different ligands, we identify that the enantio-determining step is the nickel-hydride transfer. Notably, the reaction pathway initiated by the Ni(0) species through oxidative addition of alcohol is determined to be the most favorable.

The Mukaiyama-Michael (M-M) reaction is a powerful approach for carbon-carbon bond formation and can provide access to all-carbon quaternary centers and vicinal stereocenters. The use of chiral catalysts for this transformation has enabled the development of efficient asymmetric methods in which the reaction proceeds with high enantioselectivity in the presence of only a substoichiometric amount of the chiral promoter. Both chiral Lewis acid catalysts and organocatalysts have been employed.
