A new
homochiral BINAPDA-Zr-MOF was prepared by a new chiral
organic linker of (R)-4,4′-(6,6′-dichloro-2,2′-diethoxyl-[1,1′-binaphthalene]-4,4′-diyl)dibenzoic
acid (R
-L) and ZrCl4 under
solvothermal conditions. Its structure was determined by Pawley refinement
on the basis of the measured PXRD pattern determined for BINAPDA-Zr-MOF, and it showed that the obtained chiral MOF crystallized in the F23 space group with the same topological structure
as that of UiO-66. The obtained BINAPDA-Zr-MOF can be
a very active catalyst to catalyze aldehyde cyanosilylation. In addition,
the chiral BINAPDA-Zr-MOF was a typical solid catalyst,
which was proved by a hot leaching test; moreover, it could be reused
at least five times without loss of its catalytic activity and enantioselectivity.
