Abstract
It remains a great challenge to introduce large and efficient homogeneous asymmetric catalysts into MOFs and other microporous materials as well as retain their degrees of freedom. Herein, a new heterogeneous strategy of homogeneous chiral catalysts is proposed, that is, to construct a yolk-shell MOFs-confined, large-size, and highly efficient homogeneous chiral catalyst, which can be used as a nanoreactor for asymmetric catalytic reactions.
