Abstract
Chiral compounds are abundantly distributed in both the natural world and biological systems. It is crucial to identify and detect chiral compounds in living systems or to separate and determinethem in the natural environment. Many researchers have developed a range of chiral materials with different functionalizations to separate and detect chiral substances. Chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) have the potential to be used in enantioselective separation and detection due to their large surface areas, regulated framework topologies, particular substrate interactions, and accessible chiral sites. CMOFs contribute significantly to the development of enantiomer separation and detection in medicine, agriculture, food, environment, and other fields. This review focuses on four synthesis methods of CMOFs and their applications in chiral separation and chiral sensing in the past five years, mainly including chromatographic separation, membrane separation, optical sensing, electrochemical sensing, and other sensingmethods. Finally, the challenges and potential growth direction of CMOFs in enantiomer separation and detection are discussed and prospected.
