Abstract
The 1D homochiral coordination polymer (CP-1) {[Co(dTMP)(bpe)2(H2O)3]·9H2O}n was constructed by using 2'-deoxy thymidine 5'-monophosphate disodium salt (dTMP·2Na), and auxiliary ligand bpe (1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene) and characterized by single-crystal XRD, PXRD, IR, UV-visible, CD and TGA analyses. Molecular simulations revealed the selective chiral behaviour of CP-1 towards phenylalanine and histidine, as indicated by their higher binding free energies compared to other amino acids. Theoretical parameters were also compared with experimental UV-visible verdicts. Notably, the D-enantiomers of phenylalanine and histidine demonstrated strong bonding abilities and optimal configurations for probing and distinguishing them from their L-counterparts. These findings led to propositions suggesting that the dissimilarities between these D and L amino acid forms and their binding orientations with CP-1 may contribute to alterations in the CD signal. CP-1 exhibited a robust inherent circular dichroism (CD) signal in aqueous solutions, modulated by the presence of specific amino acids, namely D/L phenylalanine and D/L histidine. Leveraging the measurement of CD signal intensity, a sensor capable of detecting unmodified amino acids has been developed. Unlike previously reported approaches that relied on complex chemical reactions between initially CD-silent molecules and probed amino acids, this new method offers a more straightforward means of amplifying the CD signal. Consequently, this change facilitates a more accurate differentiation between the enantiomers of these specific amino acids compared to others.

Abstract
Self-assembly of M(ClO4)2 (M2+ = Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) with (1S,1'S,1''S,2R,2'R,2''R)-(benzenetricarbonyltris(azanediyl))tris(2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diyl) trinicotinate (s,r-L) and the corresponding enantiomer (r,s-L) as a pair of chiral tridentate donors gives rise to the chiral cage pairs [M3(s,r- and r,s-L)2](ClO4)6. For the two pairs of [(Me2CO)(H2O)@M3(r,-s and s,r-L)2](ClO4)6 (M2+ = Ni2+ and Zn2+), the inner cavity is occupied by both an acetone and a single water molecule, whereas for the copper(II) pair of [Me2CO@Cu3(r,s- and s,r-L)2](ClO4)6 under the same conditions, the cavity is filled by only one acetone molecule. Thus, the encapsulation of guest molecules into the cages during self-assembly shows significant metal(II) ion effects. These chiral cages are effective for the enantio-recognition of chiral (S)-2-butanol and (R)-2-butanol via the shifts of the electrochemical oxidation potentials obtained by the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) technique, density functional theory (DFT) calculations, and the chiral 2-butanol adsorption in the single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) mode.

Abstract
The self-assembly of NiCl2 with a chiral bidentate ligand pair, (1R,2S)-(+)- and (1S,2R)-(-)-1-(nicotinamido)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl nicotinate (r,s-L and s,r-L) in a mixture of ethanol and dioxane, gives rise to stable crystals consisting of [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH and [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(r,s-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH chiral cages, respectively, with two encapsulated chloride anions in the cavities. The most interesting feature is that the self-assembly of NiCl2 with the mixture of r,s-L and s,r-L (1 : 1-1 : 4) produces crystals of thermodynamically stable achiral cages, [2Cl·2H2O@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)2(r,s-L)2(H2O)2]·7C4H8O2, in the molar ratio range. Furthermore, the [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH and [2Cl@Ni2Cl2(r,s-L)4(H2O)2]·4C4H8O2·EtOH chiral crystals can recognize the pairs of L-,D-tryptophan and L-,D-cysteine via cyclic voltammetry (CV) signals, in contrast to the [2Cl·2H2O@Ni2Cl2(s,r-L)2(r,s-L)2(H2O)2]·7C4H8O2 achiral crystal.

Abstract
To date, achieving enantioselective electroanalysis for electrochemically silent chiral molecules is still highly desired. Here, an ionic covalent organic framework (COF) consisting of the pyridinium cation was derived from the tripyridinium Zincke salt and 1,4-phenylenediamine in a one-pot reaction. The electrochemical measurements revealed that the ionic backbone contributed to the electron transfer with a low charge transfer resistance. Besides, the π-π+ interaction between the pyridinium cation and ferrocenyl unit can promote the absorption of electroactive chiral ferrocenyl reagents into the hole of COF, so as to afford the electrochemical signals by themselves, replacing the testing enantiomers. As a result, the electroactive complex used as an electrochemical platform was highly effective at enantiomerically recognizing amino alcohols (prolinol, valinol, leucinol, and alaninol) and amino acids (methionine, serine, and penicillamine), giving the ratios of current intensity between l- and d-enantiomers in the range of 1.46-1.72. Moreover, the density functional theory calculations determined the possible intermolecular interactions between the testing enantiomers and chiral selector: namely, hydrogen bonds and electrostatic attractions. Overall, the present work offers an effective strategy to enlarge the electrochemical scope for chiral recognition based on electroactive chiral COFs.

Abstract
Chiral Metal-Organic Frameworks (CMOFs) are a rapidly growing field reflecting their potential as selective and sensitive chemical sensors for chiral analytes. The highly tuneable nature of CMOFs enables the size, shape, and non-covalent interactions to be optimised towards specific analytes to engender strong intermolecular interactions and sensing responses. While CMOFs as chiral chemical sensor devices have been explored with electrochemical methods including differential pulse voltammetry (DPV), bipolar and chemiresistive sensing techniques, the CMOFs as chiral chemical sensors using spectroscopic methods has received significantly less attention. This review examines the synthesis of CMOFs for chemical sensors with spectroscopic methods such as photoluminescence, circular dichroism, and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance with a view towards their incorporation into chemical sensor devices. Future directions of the field are highlighted for the generation of functional devices.

Abstract
Self-assembly of CuX2 (X- = BF4-, PF6-, and SbF6-) with a pair of chiral bidentate ligands, (1R,2S)-(+)- and (1S,2R)-(-)-1-(nicotinamido)-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl-nicotinate (r,s-L or s,r-L), in a mixture solvent including ethanol in a glass vessel gives rise to SiF62--encapsulated Cu2L4 chiral cage products. The SiF62- anion from the reaction of X- with SiO2 of the glass-vessel surface acts as a cage template or cage bridge. One of the products, [SiF6@Cu2(SiF6)(s,r-L)4]·3CHCl3·4EtOH, is one of the most effective heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of 3,5-di-tert-butylcatechol. Furthermore, an l-DOPA/d-DOPA pair is recognizable by the cyclic voltammetry (CV) signals of its combination with chiral cages [SiF6@Cu2(BF4)2(s,r- or r,s-L)4]·4CHCl3·2EtOH pair and [SiF6@Cu2(SiF6)(s,r- or r,s-L)4]·3CHCl3·4EtOH pair.

Abstract
Chiral materials capable of electrochemical enantiomeric recognition are highly desirable for many applications, but it is still very challenging to achieve high recognition efficiency for lack of the knowledge of structure-property relationships. Here, we report the completely distinct enantiomeric recognition related to slightly different achiral colinkers in isomorphic homochiral metal-organic frameworks with the same chiral linker. Cu-TBPBe, for which the achiral colinker has two pyridyl rings connected by ─CH═CH─, shows excellent enantioselectivity and sensitivity for electrochemical recognition of l-tryptophan (Trp) with a detection limit of 3.16 nM. The l-to-d ratio of differential pulse voltammetric (DPV) currents reaches 53, which is much higher than the values (2-14) reported for previous electrochemical sensors. By contrast, Cu-TBPBa, in which the achiral colinker has -CH2-CH2- between pyridyl rings, is incapable of discrimination between l-Trp and d-Trp. Structural and spectral analyses suggest that the achiral conjugated colinker and the chiral moieties around it cooperate to produce a chiral pocket in favor of enantioselective adsorption through multiple hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions. The work demonstrated that Cu-TBPBe can be used to fabricate reliable electrochemical sensors for ultrasensitive quantification of Trp enantiomers in racemic mixtures and in complex biological systems such as urine. The work also highlights that an achiral coligand can be of vital importance in determining enantiomeric discrimination, opening up a new avenue for the design of chiral sensing materials.

Abstract
Formation of the unexpected hexafluorosilicate (SiF6 2-) anion during crystallization via self-assembly in glassware is scrutinized. Self-assembly of M(BF4)2 (M2+ = Cu2+ and Zn2+) with tridentate N-donors (L) in a mixture solvent including methanol in a glass vessel gives rise to an SiF6 2--encapsulated Cu3L4 double-decker cage and a Zn2L4 cage, respectively. Induced reaction of CuX2 (X- = PF6 - and SbF6 -) instead of Cu(BF4)2, with the tridentate ligands, produces the same species. The formation time of SiF6 2- is in the order of anions BF4 - < PF6 - < SbF6 - under the given reaction conditions. The SiF6 2- anion, acting as a cage template or cage-to-cage bridge, seems to be formed from the reaction of polyatomic anions containing fluoride with the SiO2 of the surface of the glass vessel.
