Graphical Abstract

Enantiomeric silver-based MOFs were obtained through a homochiral crystallization of cinchonine and cinchonidine enantiomers as chiral adducts with silver. These MOFs exhibited excellent catalytic activity for asymmetric [3+2] cycloaddition (see scheme), giving products with high enantioselectivity.
