Abstract

Homochiral MOF membranes offer a promising route to efficient chiral separation, but their fabrication remains challenging. Here, we report for the first time the design and preparation of homochiral polycrystalline MOF-808 membranes for the first time. The membrane exhibits a high integrity and thin membrane thickness. Achieving homochirality through chiral amino acid postsynthetic modification, MOF-808 membranes demonstrate remarkable solvent stability. Notably, they successfully separated racemic naproxen enantiomers, achieving enantiomeric excess (ee) values of up to ∼95.0%. This work paves the way for turning achiral polycrystalline MOF membranes into high-performance chiral membranes for enantioselective separation.
