Chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been studied for the past decade for their use in enantiomeric separations and asymmetric catalysis, but most of these materials are assembled using transition metal ions. Chrial MOFs constructed from lanthanide ions (lanthanide-organic frameworks, LOFs) are less common, and those that have been reported have been utilized only for enantiomeric separations. Progress towards the evaluation of LOFs with homochiral pores as asymmetric catalysts will be presented.
