Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Jul 18;48(56):7022-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc32595k. Epub 2012 May 10.

Abstract

For the first time, a homochiral metal-organic framework membrane was prepared for the enantioselective separation of important chiral compounds, especially chiral drug intermediates, which will allow for the potential development of a new, sustainable and highly efficient chiral separation technique.
