A chiral porous metal-organic framework (MOF) decorated with radicals has been successfully constructed by cocrystallizing achiral (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO)-substituted tricarboxylate and enantiopure VO(salen)-derived dipyridine ligands. The chiral MOF can function as an efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the sequential alcohol oxidation/asymmetric cyanation of aldehyde reactions with enhanced activity and enantioselectivity compared to the homogeneous counterpart.
