Cover Story: Recently, chiral metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have drawn increasing attention for asymmetric reactions. The intrinsic chiral environments in rigid MOFs provide confinement effects and specific interactions, leading to shape-, size-, chemo- and enantioselectivity. DFT calculations is a prevalent tool to investigate the fundamental mechanism and provide an in-depth understanding of the relationship of structure with catalytic performance. In this work, a DFT study revealed that structural distortion and non-covalent interaction of chiral rigid In-MOF provided the inherent driving force for the enantioselectivity of asymmetric catalysis. This theoretical investigation provides a microscopic insight for the reaction mechanism, and it is useful for the development of new chiral MOFs toward asymmetric reactions. View this paper
