A homochiral MOF membrane was successfully and facilely synthesized using an in situ growth method, which had the advantages of cheap raw materials, simple operation and high thermal stability. A diol isomer mixture was used to test the separation efficiency of the membrane at different temperatures and pressures.

We present the first asymmetric reaction of indol-2-yl carbinols with indole derivatives catalyzed by chiral phosphoramides for the enantioselective synthesis of 2,3'-diindolylarylmethanes in excellent yields of over 90% as well as high enantioselectivity of up to 96% ee.
