The use of calixarenes in asymmetric catalysis is receiving increasing attention due to their tunable three-dimensional molecular platforms along with their easy syntheses and versatile modification at the upper and lower rims. This review summarizes the recent progress of synthesis and use of chiral calixarenes in asymmetric syntheses which emerged later than 2010.

This survey article deals with a delta potential—also known as a point scatterer—on flat two- and three-dimensional tori. We introduce the main conjectures regarding the spectral and wave function statistics of this model in the so-called weak and strong coupling regimes. We report on recent progress as well as a number of open problems in this field.

Chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) have shown great promises in the applications of asymmetric catalysis with highly enantioselective. Herein, we briefly overview recent processes of MOF-based asymmetric catalysts based on a classification of reaction types. And we mainly focus on the structures and compositions of the active sites in these catalysts and their performances in specific reactions. In addition, some of their important unique features are critically emphasized alongside. Challenges of the future research are discussed also at the end of this review.

Tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenylsilane, and simple derivatives with substituents that do not engage in hydrogen bonding typically crystallize as close-packed structures with essentially no space available for the inclusion of guests. In contrast, derivatives with hydrogen-bonding groups are known to favor the formation of open networks that include significant amounts of guests. To explore this phenomenon, we synthesized six new derivatives 5a–5e and 6a of tetraphenylmethane and tetraphenylsilane with urethane and urea groups at the para positions, crystallized the compounds, and determined their structures by X-ray crystallography. As expected, all six compounds crystallize to form porous three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks. In the case of tetraurea 5e, 66% of the volume of the crystals is accessible to guests, and guests can be exchanged in single crystals without loss of crystallinity. Of special note are: (i) the use of tetrakis(4-isocyanatophenyl)methane (1f) as a precursor for making enantiomerically pure tetraurethanes and tetraureas, including compounds 5b, 5c; and (ii) their subsequent crystallization to give porous chiral hydrogen-bonded networks. Such materials promise to include chiral guests enantioselectively and to be useful in the separation of racemates, asymmetric catalysis, and other applications.Key words: crystal engineering, molecular tectonics, hydrogen bonding, networks, porosity, urethanes, ureas, tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenylsilane.
